Have all youtube downloader add-ons stopped working? [View all]

I noticed the download button was missing the other day, and after installing another youtube downloader add-on (on Opera and on Firefox), I noticed they don't work any longer either. I imagine youtube aren't happy with these add-ons, but have they strong-armed the browser manufacturers to disable them or what gives?

Can anyone recommend one that still works or point to a standalone app (Windows)?

Thanks.
