@Concept211 Where i put the unpacked extension ?
Anywhere on your computer. Then in Chrome go to: chrome://extensions/ and click Load unpacked and browse to the unzipped folder you saved on your drive. You should then be able to enable the unpacked extension and start using it.
Thanks!
The old Wistia Video Downloader chrome extension that was taken down still works if you load it as an unpacked extension: https://fastupload.io/1153d3c99d9d7468
Double-checked the code and there's nothing malicious about it.
This link is redirecting me to some spam website, wanting me to purchase norton av.
Managed to eventually download and install. After 10 mins or so, chrome removes the extension again saying it contains malware
This is great! Anyone have something similar for Vimeo videos? Thanks!

Same thing started happening to me. I'm not sure what part of the code is triggering Chrome to think that it has malware but I ended up just temporarily disabling the "Safe Browsing" protection temporarily while I used the extension. Once I was done with it, I disabled the extension and re-enabled "Safe Browsing".
You can find the setting here:
chrome://settings/security
Still works :-) Thank you!
