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

This is great. I had been using faststream before but it got removed and it also had problems with sites that used Anubis as (i think) it wasn't using the same browser session and creating a new request, which was blocked.

I tried your extension on redlib and while it grabbed the hls video url, it listed too many in the downloader UI. It probably needs a cleanup.

Thanks!
