Full summary	FetchV is a powerful Chrome extension designed to download streaming videos indexed by m3u8 files, including HLS live streams. It merges all media fragments into a unified MP4 file and supports multi-thread downloading for faster speeds, ideal for large files. Users can preview media, switch resolutions when available, and manage downloads with progress and speed indicators directly in the browser. This extension handles various web-playable video formats such as MP4 and WEBM and offers a unique "recording mode" to capture 'blob' prefixed streams when direct media addresses aren't detected. Security and privacy are prioritized by processing all downloads locally without third-party servers. Note that FetchV supports only technically standard videos and does not work with encrypted content or non-standard playback methods.	GetVid is a professional Chrome extension that lets you download videos from Vimeo, Telegram, Facebook, Instagram, and 1000+ websites. It supports adaptive streaming formats like HLS (m3u8) and DASH (mpd) for offline viewing, and includes a Story & Reels saver, a video recorder, and frame/image extraction to capture moments from videos. With privacy and convenience in mind, you can add the extension, pin it, choose guest mode or sign in, then play any video and click download. YouTube downloads are not supported due to policy, DRM videos are not supported, and GetVid does not track or store your browsing history.
