What it does
Most video downloaders either make you paste a URL into a website, or they only grab the obvious tag on the page. Videoff lives in your browser and goes deeper: Deep detection: scans shadow DOM, iframes, and intercepts network requests to catch HLS/DASH manifests that other tools miss entirely. Firefox Android support: same extension works on desktop and mobile (most tools ignore mobile entirely). Adapter system: site-specific support (YouTube, Vimeo, X, TikTok…) that's easy to extend.
Videoff is a Chrome & Firefox extension (desktop + Android) that deeply detects videos on a page and stores them in your local library — playable offline, right from your browser. DOM, shadow DOM, iframes, HLS/DASH manifests, dynamic players. Videoff sees what you see — and more. Your videos stay on your device, in your browser. Playback is handled by the built-in player, with no mandatory cloud. Adapter-based architecture: adding support for a site takes just a few lines. You report it, we add it. Use Videoff only for content you are legally allowed to keep. Your videos are stored locally in your browser, on yourfrom videoff.video

Eliminate video buffering with a Chrome extension2023 · faststream.online · ▲5This extension will replace videos on websites with a custom one that use download acceleration to prebuffer as you watch. It works on most websites, including Youtube. Fortuitously, it is also able to bypass Youtube's anti-adblock shenanigans. I started this project in high school to fix the terrible video players used on most websites. Since then, I've received a lot of feedback from my users and FastStream has improved significantly. Now that most bugs have been ironed out, I think I am ready to share it here on HN. It is still undergoing rapid development (multiple releases every week),…

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
