If you have Firefox, then just save this bookmarklet to your bookmarks:

javascript:(function(w,d,x){x=new(window.XMLHttpRequest||ActiveXObject)('Microsoft.XMLHTTP');x.onreadystatechange=function(){if(x.readyState==4){if(x.status==200)d.body.appendChild(d.createElement('script')).src=JSON.parse(x.responseText).query.results.url;else%20console.log('ERR',x.status,x.statusText)}};x.open('GET','//query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q='+encodeURIComponent('select%20*%20from%20json%20where%20url="http://noflr.deturl.com/l.asp"')+'&format=json');x.send()})(window,document);

Basically, you go into bookmarks, make a new bookmark and paste the above code as the "URL". Next time you're on Youtube, activate the bookmarklet and it will append the Youtube page with download links in real time without affecting / skipping the video. See the yellow bit at the top of the screenshot. No need for add-ons which can potentially be plagued with malware Works with other common video sites as well like Daily Motion.

P.S. I think the JavaScript is cross-platform, so should work on Chrome and Opera too. Take IE / Edge with a pinch of salt

the avast safezone browser does it , you get a download icon above your youtube vids

Nice
I had been using a qq.
Might try ss if there are less popup adverts involved.

Qq saves twitter and stuff too, does ss?

About ss Obviously don't download the savefrom.net s/w this is adware, and even enabling javascript for that site might be risky, it gives an overlay/popup.
Anyway does not seem to be able to deliver html5/vp9 highest quality version of videos. (you can see available codecs for utube id here - without enabling javascript lol)

The javscript snippit cannot get the html5/vp9 either, check you are happy with it before blindly installing (see here)

..I am looking for a solution too, and posted last week in FF thread, but I am not sure these are it

Try ClipConvertor

Clip convertor said it cant download videos with music in it!

 

[jpaul]

yes if you read some of the info here
video&music are apparently two streams, and like this FF plugin that does not yet work with latest DASH format (with best quality), clip convertor probably has same issue.

Without FFmpeg installed:
-DASH video formats appear in the CYS list as MP4V files and contain NO AUDIO.

With FFmpeg installed:
-DASH video formats appear in the CYS list as MP4 files. CYS will download the video and audio files and merge them automatically. DO NOT try to play the separate files while they are downloading. Wait until the two files merge and then you can play the resulting MP4 file.

The 'ss' before 'youtube' seems to have worked though. Yet to test it on the TV.

I've yet to fail downloading anything with the idea put forward by Pawnless Enigma.
