You can add it as a right-click option to Firefox:

Install: https://webextension.org/listing/external-application-button.html
In the Extension options, add an application
Name it something like “Open in YT-DLP: mp4”
Set the exe name to the path of a local copy of yt-dlp
Set the arguments to be -S res,ext:mp4:m4a --recode mp4 [HREF]
Under the Placement options -> Context Menu -> select “All Contexts”

You should now be able to right click on a YouTube page and choose “External Application launcher -> Open in YT-DLP: mp4”

If you want audio only, add another application in the extension settings and use the arguments -f ba[ext=m4a] [HREF] for m4a files.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
