Universal downloader - Download HTML5 media on web pages

Universal downloader is a Firefox add-on that allows you to easily download HTML5 media from web pages. It ensures that you can still access the right-click context menu, even on websites that try to prevent it. If you come across copied m3u links, the add-on won't download them directly, but you can use youtube-dl or media players like mpv/vlc to handle them.

User reviews

This does not work as it used to. In fact it does not work at all when you down load it. Look at the reviews 3 of them 4 years old and no 2 or 3/4 star reviews. Reporting for review manipulation. I know for a fact there were older ones that were 2,3,4 etc...
