Download Youtube videos easily on linux

We are going to use Parabolic Youtube Downloader and integrate with firefox browser. Chromium doesn’t have the extension support.

Prerequisite: flatpak

• Install Parabolic

  flatpak install --user flathub org.nickvision.tubeconverter
  

• Install browser Open With extension for firefox. Open the action and setup the open_with_linux.py.
  Go to Add browser. And set up the following:
  Name: Parabolic
  Command:

  /usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=/app/bin/org.nickvision.tubeconverter org.nickvision.tubeconverter
  

  Custom Icons: Browse for custom icon. If you installed app as user it should be in

  ~/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/org.nickvision.tubeconverter.svg
  

  Or if you installed as systemwide

  /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/org.nickvision.tubeconverter.svg
  

That’s it. Now go to youtube and open the webpage with parabolic. It will start downloads.
