That said, FBDown is easy to use, practical, well-reviewed, doesn’t ask for any weird permissions or behave oddly, and doesn’t seem to interfere with or slow down browsing. FBDown has said the company’s servers don’t keep download histories of their users or track their behavior. You don’t get a lot of choices with format, and when you choose to download a video you’re taken (in a new tab) to a download page-the extension is a portal to the web functionality. You can also enter a video URL to download at the FBDown website. Unusually, FBDown displays both the video filename and a thumbnail image that lets you identify the video you want more readily. Once it’s installed, just click the download arrow in your extension bar on Chrome and you’ll see a list of available videos on the page you’re viewing.

Install it from the Chrome Web Store here. It’s free, and the only major platform it doesn’t seem to work on is YouTube. You can download video from across the web.


So, you want to download videos for free.
