That means you can download the video in its original format and then convert it to see it well on all your devices. Or to extract the audio from a video.
Pushbullet
If sharing is your thing, Pushbullet is designed for you. It was originally created to send and receive files between devices. Nowadays it is much more, since you can also send and receive links, SMS messages, talk with text messages with other users, see the notifications received on your smartphone, etc.
The extension is available for Chrome and derivatives, but also for Firefox. In addition, it has a native app for Windows and another for Android. This way it will be more comfortable for you to send and receive content : files, links, messages …

The tabs are one of the aspects that give more war in the browser. OneTab is one of many extensions that you will find in the Chrome Web Store to deal with excess tabs .
This time it is about showing all the open tabs in a single tab that shows the open links. You can delete them, restore them, share them … With this automatically generated list you will be able to put a little order and better visualize which tabs you need and which ones have been left open by mistake.

GoFullPage
Instead of saving a link in the browser, I suggest that you do it in the form of an image. GoFullPage takes a screenshot of the page you have open. But instead of saving the link, it does so in JPEG, PNG or PDF format. And save the whole page no matter how long it is.
If you choose this extension for Chrome you can consult that content saved whenever you want. Even if it is no longer available on the internet. So you can use it as a test or if you need to share it online .
