Help needed

This is only minimally useful in this state. Join us on our Discord and please help us improve that.

Note:

  • For mysterious reasons sometimes the download buttons will only load when refreshing the YouTube search page and not on first load... Hence: Help needed!
  • For your testing environment only for now: Point the extension to the newest unstable build.
