FastestTube Chrome extension

First seen in 2010, Music, Videos & Photos. This page records what the extension did, whether it is still available, and what to use instead.

What it was

FastestTube by Kwizzu was the best known YouTube download button of its era, available for every browser and offering every format YouTube served, including 1080p and audio only. Chrome Web Store policy forbids YouTube downloaders, so it was distributed from its own site and from here.

No longer available

Extensions that download YouTube videos or audio are prohibited by the Chrome Web Store's developer policies, so this extension was never carried by the store and is not distributed here. Downloading YouTube content is also against YouTube's terms of service. The list below shows the video downloaders the store does permit; they work on sites other than YouTube.
