There is an app on android called Video Downloader to pirate videos from websites. Now, it works for almost every website except youtube. The problem with this app is, it has no adblocker and when you visit sites you should not visit without an adblocker, it just rains ads on you. So, is there a website equivalent of this app which can download videos from any website?
On Android, it’s a bit complicated but you if you are experienced you can use termux and yt-dlp.
You can use yt-dlp from a desktop too.
For youtube on android you can use newpipe. It allows streaming as well as downloading.

Take a look at Seal for Android.
Github: https://github.com/JunkFood02/Seal
Fdroid: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.junkfood.seal/
It’s a friendly android GUI for yt-dlp, so everything yt-dlp supports it can download.
thank you!

@Owell1984 This Telegram bot can do it: @YtbDownBot
@Owell1984 I think the bot is based on YouTube-dl or yt-dlp
I am sorry for the non-response. Thank you for your reply, I will give it a try
@Owell1984
No problem. You’re welcome :)
They already suggested
yt-dlp, but also have a look at JDownloader. You can paste a webpage url and it will fetch all the elements it can download, video included. You can also create download collections in order to download the same files again (or in another computer with JDownloader installed).I don’t know of any website but yt-dlp is great for downloading videos.
And for YouTube specifically, a few Invidious instances have downloads enabled.
Try stremio with torrentio plugin, login it via guest login install torrentio and watch/download whichever film TV show you want.
thank you!

Everyone is saying Youtube-dlp but you could also just use NewPipe
You could run
youtube-dloryt-dlp(command-line) through Termux on Android, and that should work with most non-DRM protected stuff.thank you! after 22d

Try changing your Private DNS on Android to dns.adguard.com to block in-app ads. For Firefox/Chrome apps, just find uBlock Origin in their add-on/extension stores (blocks ads on YouTube Mobile in browser). I’ve used file2hd.com on PC but it doesn’t really have a mobile UI.
yt-dlp
You can pass it your browser cookies so you can download higher quality.
If the only thing you are missing is youtube download ability, why not use one of the many options to do that from a handset? Newpipe or Spottube are on fdroid. https://invidious.io/ allows you to do it from a browser.
yt-dlp (command line, for all OSes)
Also, on Windows you can use IDM’s video grabber (get IDM from LRepacks.net, safe site) which works very conveniently with websites that require sign-in/cookies, and on Linux that would be XDM + VideoDownload Helper addon in browser.
thank you for your help! it’s been a long time I have logged in here
