    Do you think this browser extension could help a bit - by reducing video usage?

    Youtube Audio Stream only Audio on Youtube

    I try to download the audio (some call that stealing) and would guess that reduces my footprint since I then use less internet.

      YouTube Audio is a neat extension, which I also use btw (since YT is my main source of music). And if you listen to a track repeatedly at different time intervals, it’s certainly the more data-efficient approach to download it once and for all

        your post spurred me to finally attempt youtube-dl and on the second try, i got it to work. My first try was an outdated version. About 85% of every song/piece will download with no problems.
