As mentioned, this extension allows you to download YouTube videos in various file formats and quality settings.

In order to gain access to these options you must visit the tool’s interface through the Chrome web browser settings menu. Here, you can enable one or all the options provided by the app: a button below the video, link on context menu or icon in the address bar.
