Brave Browser Support is needed

[Tron Wars]

As more people become concerned about their privacy more are turning to products like Brave.

I have dumped Chrome and Edge because there are serious privacy issues with these big tech companies now. Currently I'm using Brave and Firefox but the only reason I still have Firefox is it supports the Video Download Helper. I'm considering chromium though by what I understand that is an opensource google version? and I don't trust google.

Soon I will also remove Firefox and only use Brave as it provides far superior privacy than the other browsers and having multiple plugin/extensions to get some of the same features Brave supports by default without having to install plugins/extensions is a security risk as you have to then track each developer and ensure extensions are up to date or aren't owned by some rouge dev or just left unsupported as many are.

Could Video Downloadhelper start supporting this Browser which is become a lot more popular?

Currently if you use the Chrome plugin it doesn't work, sceenshot of reason attached.

You say you are concerned with privacy & security. Then you say plugins are a security
risk. Then you say you like VDH (a plugin, or in Firefox parlance, an add-on). I'm
having a hard time untangling the logic in all that.

However that may be, you would do well to check your facts:

Brave is, to quote you, becoming "a lot more popular?" Among what population?
Apparently, not the global population of Internet users. If you're getting your "facts"
from the Brave web site itself . . . From where I'm sitting (as just another user, NOT
an employee of VDH), it does not seem cost justified for Michel to work on a Brave
version of VDH.

It's all about limiting risk, the less add-ins/extensions there are the more likely your risk profile is lower. I said plugins/add-ins are a security risk, and that is a well held belief in the industry, I didn't say we can't live without them or shouldn't use them, it's always a trade off with features vs security. But my main objective here was to ask if this extension could support Brave. I only have a couple of plugins, one is AV so I do make an effort to limit my expose but there aren't many choices when it comes to downloading. 

As for Brave stats and it's popularity, their market share is growing, which means it's becoming more popular. I didn't say anything about the browser being at the top, I simply said it's becoming more popular as people become privacy focused.

So I will just ignore mostly what you said, , but you some what arrogant comment just gave me an idea, I wonder if there is an option to just install an app onto Linux, and well, yep there is

So using flatpak I just installed video downloader, (though that link provides for a number of front ends to the Linux popular YT-DLP command line tool https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp ) and well, it's simple and works well. Now I can simply remove the add-ins for down loaders and not have to worry about browser compatibility, problem solved though I guess now I won't need this tool anymore.

Just so you know, the next version of the coapp, to be released in a few weeks, will support Brave. You should be able to install the VDH/Chrome add-on to Brave, possibly VDH/Edge (?).
