Extension

https://www.raycast.com/vimtor/youtube-downloader

Raycast Version

v 1.90.0

macOS Version

Description

I get this screen now whenever I try to run YouTube Downloader. I remember not needing to install any browser extensions for this to work. Is this a bug or is it a requirement now to install the Raycast Safari Extension?

  1. Run the YouTube Downloader extension without any Raycast Safari/Chrome extension installed.

To add to this, I'm not really keen on installing the Raycast browser extension (not really using any AI features within Raycast). It would be good if we could revert to the previous behaviour (no extension required).

@pernielsentikaer installing extension should be optional here. What makes it required?

The extension works normally if there's a youtube.com link in my clipboard. Otherwise it just shows the Browser Extension Required screen.
