The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.

About Scrawnload

Scrawnload finds playable video and audio on the page you're currently viewing, lets you preview it right in the popup, and saves a local copy — including HLS streams, which are decrypted and merged into a single file entirely inside your browser. WHAT IT DOES • Detects direct media files (MP4, WebM, MP3, and other common formats) as well as HLS (.m3u8) streams, from both the page's markup and its network requests • Click any detected item to preview it in place before downloading anything • For HLS streams with multiple quality variants, choose a resolution first • AES-128-encrypted HLS segments are decrypted and remuxed into a single playable .mp4 — using ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, running entirely in your browser. No server, no upload, no external processing. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO • No account, no login, no telemetry, no analytics — nothing is ever sent off your device • Doesn't touch YouTube or DRM-protected content (Widevine/FairPlay) — both are out of scope by design, not a bug • Doesn't work on live streams (no end marker) or bypass any site's access controls WHO IT'S FOR Save content you actually have the rights to: your own uploads, self-hosted media, Creative-Commons or otherwise openly licensed streams, and educational material. Downloading from a given site may still be subject to that site's own terms — Scrawnload doesn't make that determination for you, so check first.
