It doesn't work anymore. It's probably the updated version of Chrome and it's forbiden or something.

Is there any other way?

Downloading YouTube videos through Chrome directly can sometimes be tricky due to restrictions. That’s why I prefer using <a href="https://www.descargarsnaptubes.com/">.... apk</a>, which makes the process super easy.
With SnapTube, you can download YouTube videos in different resolutions and formats quickly without any complicated steps. It saves a lot of time!

I've been hooked on Hungry Shark for weeks, and I recently came across the mod APK version — it's a total game-changer! Unlimited coins and gems make it way more enjoyable without the constant grind. If anyone’s looking to enhance their gameplay, I’d definitely recommend checking out the Hungry Shark Mod APK. It’s worth it! https://hungrysharkmodapk.net/

Branded power banks keep your audience powered up on the go, making them a practical and memorable promotional tool. How to download YouTube videos with Google Chrome often involves browser extensions or third-party tools, as direct downloads are restricted by YouTube’s policies. Users typically install trusted add-ons or use online services to save videos for offline viewing. Always ensure compliance with copyright laws and platform terms when accessing and storing online content. https://www.gopromotional.co.uk/branded-....

If you're using Google Chrome, direct YouTube downloads aren't officially supported due to policy restrictions. However, you can still download videos easily using trusted third-party apps.I personally use SnapTube premium APK — it's a great tool that works on Android. Just copy the YouTube link from Chrome, paste it into SnapTube, and download in the quality you prefer (including MP4 or MP3).It’s been super reliable for me and doesn't require any complicated setup.Hope that helps!
