Other than YouTube, you can download from Facebook, Twitter, as well as other social media websites. This new version allows you to download from these websites: What websites can YouTube-DL download from? Version 0.0.4 is not maintained, nor does it really work anymore. It’s impossibly simple to navigate and is currently being maintained by another user on Github, so make sure to GO HERE and not the first search result. It’s not an easy way to do it, but luckily with it being open-source, you can grab a version that applies a GUI – a graphical user interface – to the mix. Built and published for free as open-source on Github, it’s a command-line based piece of software that’s designed to simply extract YouTube videos (and other websites!) in a quick fashion.
YouTube-DL is none of these, it’s actually the basis of what we’re going to be talking about today. YouTube downloaders are many and other than the five we’ve determined to be the best before, there’s a lot of bad actors out there who only want to infect your PC or take you for a ride with the same template websites that are just rife with chances to get ad revenue down your throat.
