Youtube Downloader and Converter Features
Version 3.0 was released and brings you a lot of exciting new features: - New interface with new activity tab where you can keep track of your downloads/conversions and see their status - Pause/resume downloads and conversions. Another useful extension in the Secure Browsing Mode is a video downloading tool. It allows you to grab videos from sites which do not allow downloading videos by default like Youtube and other video sharing websites like Vimeo. However, it fails to capture content from protected video streaming platforms like Netflix as well as Amazon Prime.
