What's a good way to download videos from sites that don't have specific download links available? I'm using Chrome so I can't use the Firefox downloader extensions.
I hate how YouTube streams in chunks now instead of just buffering the entire video at once. It used to be you could open a 30 minute video, select your preferred resolution, and do something else. When you came back the video would be 100% buffered and you could watch all the way through. Now it only buffers a minute or two ahead then stops.
So is there a good way to download videos so I don't have to put up with this streaming bullshit? I recently moved and my internet is dogshit for the next two weeks until the good ISP can come out.
I ask because the websites that come up when I search for video downloader seem pretty sketchy.

you might wanna get it manually instead of using your distro's repos. it has its own updater (pass -U) and there's (very) frequent changes to keep it working with popular sites.

Works best if you got ffmpeg installed and install it in avirtualenvimo.

You can use mpv with youtube-dl to stream YouTube videos without having to save the video, and you'll still be able to buffer the video to 100%.

4K Video Downloader is best
