Saving YouTube videos to Mac with Chrome
The Chrome extension we recommend for downloading YouTube Videos is Addoncrop’s YouTube Video Downloader. To install it, you first have to download another extension from the Chrome Web Store, called Foxified. Without this extension, Addoncrop will not work and you won’t be able to watch offline any video.
This extension takes only a few seconds to install and apart from just downloading videos in high quality, it also allows you to extract audio, subtitles, and thumbnails from them.
Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to download YouTube videos in Chrome with a shortcut:
- Head to Addoncrop’s site and click on Add to Chrome.
- A small pop-up will appear asking you to install Foxified first. Click on Let’s Go.
- You’ll be taken to the Chrome Web Store page for Foxified. Hit the Add to Chrome button.
- Once Foxified has been installed, Addoncrop’s YouTube Video Downloader will automatically be downloaded.
- Open any YouTube video and click on the Downloads icon.
- Choose the video quality you want and the video will begin to download.
