I would like a simple way to download videos from the internet. For example, from YouTube, but also from social networks or, ideally, streams. Specific add-ons for YouTube exist, but I’m looking for something more general.
There are probably hundreds of Firefox plugins that promise to do this. However, many of them don’t seem to be very good. Which plugin do you use for this?
Sorry to bother you with this, but do you know of a simple tutorial on how to get from a GitHub link to something I can work with? I’m still pretty new to Linux and have no idea about Git, compiling, dependencies, and all that stuff.
This was linked to in the github readme:

Personally, I use pip to install yt-dlp beta versions because YouTube changes so fast.
pip install -U --pre yt-dlp[default]
