I am glad I am using the unofficial portable build from videohelp.com (a site I’ve been using for what seems like 20+ years):
https://www.videohelp.com/software/JDownloader
jDownloader is a powerful tool (although its coverage scope is weaker than yt-dlp and even the Video DownloadHelper extension for FF), but the organization that makes it seems a bit sketchy. I was never able to access their “no adware in the installer” build on the official site.

For certain batch uses cases, it’s still the simplest option. yt-dlp is definitely the most powerful, but for me personally, I sometimes get bogged down in the CLI UX when I am doing something non-standard (I’ve “automated” standard use cases via a WezTerm “toolbox”).

Do you use something else?
