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

  • Install: webextension.org/…/external-application-button.ht…
  • 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.

  Might need an update. Just fixed mine by grabbing the latest release from 2 weeks ago.

  You can use the OpenWith extensions to add it as a right click option.

  I have this setup for my non-technical family members, so they just right click on the page choose open with -> ytdlp and it saves it to their downloads folder.

  You can set up different options for example video or audio only.
