Youtube to MP3

Most other youtube to mp3 services rely on an external server to do the conversion. This processing is costly and results in ad-filled experiences with lots of waiting and generally risky procedures.

This extension combats that by doing the downloading and conversion from youtube formats to mp3 locally in the browser. Once converted, these files are backed up with Sia SkyNet so future downloads are faster for everyone.
