v1.5.0

New: Chrome / Edge / Opera extension (video-grabber-extension.zip)

• Detects videos in the background while you browse; the count shows on its icon
• One-click download with your cookies and the page's Referer, with a thumbnail preview (and a play button for audio)
• Tiny UI sounds are ignored
• YouTube and HLS/DASH streams: "Download this page with the app" / "Send to app" hands the URL and the site's cookies to the desktop app, which downloads with yt-dlp (install ffmpeg for best quality)

Install the extension: unzip, open chrome://extensions (or opera://extensions, edge://extensions), turn on Developer mode, click "Load unpacked" and pick the video-grabber-extension folder.

App

• VideoGrabber.exe 1.5.0 registers the extension bridge during install and removes it on uninstall; install or reinstall it to use "Send to app"

Only download what you are allowed to: YouTube's terms forbid downloading except your own videos or ones whose licence allows it.
