DownloadHelper for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer Alternative
Are you using Chrome as your main web browser? Well, it's a good choice since Chrome is now the most popular web browser in the world. The only drawback, if it belongs to Chrome, is that you can find DownloadHelper plugin for Chrome. But it's not Google's fault, DownloadHelper was developed for Mozilla Firefox ONLY.
There is no doubt that DownloadHelper did a good job in downloading and converting online video. It's almost a perfect solution and it's free. Amazing. However, you have to use Firefox. For those who want to stick to Chrome, a DownloadHelper for Chrome alternative is a must. iSkysoft iTube Studio is what you need. This web video downloader supports Chrome perfectly, no matter you're using Windows or Mac. It'll install a Chrome plugin like DownloadHelper in order for you to grab video from YouTube and 100+ YouTube like video sharing sites. Internet Explorer (IE) and Mozilla Firefox are also supported.
Differently, a download button, rather than 'animating multicolor balls', will help you download web video. I think it's a more convenient and distinct way than DownloadHelper's. Multiple video resolutions are available. You're able to download multiple videos in the background at the same time. This Chrome video downloader can also convert the downloaded video to all regular video/audio formats and devices like iPhone/iPad/iPod. Why not give it a try?
