An update on my FOSS downloader extension recommended by Mozilla!I just updated to a new major release of Media Downloader Unleashed!!, my #firefox add-on to download audio and video from sites that got recommended by #mozilla !addons.mozilla.org/addon/mediaMainly, a better media list, more supported sites (even those using a wrong file format!), and some fixes and improvements!Changelog is too long for the character limit so you can read it all here : github.com/helloyanis/media-doIt's just out, so there might still be some bugs, so if you want to try it be sure to leave me any feedback! Thanks! Now for the fun part : Since it got recommended by Mozilla, it appears as a suggestion within the browser, which lead to the amount of users BLOWING UP!! LOOK AT THIS GRAPH IT'S INSANE! THANKS SO MUCH!!!? 🧡🧡I guess it's a great reward for making great work!!@opensource#foss #opensource #devlog #web #webdev #mediadownloaderunleashed

I was dubious. "What could this possibly do" I thought, "that yt-dlp can't?".

I pointed it at a video on Substack that I've been wanting to watch offline (that platform is just shite) and after a little getting tripped up by the UI... boom. 1hr of video just in my Downloads/ folder.

Thanks. This is pretty great.
