Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

I've tried a few extensions, but so often get "video not found" or something similar. All the 4+ star rated extensions seem to have fake reviews because none of the ones I've tried actually work. At the moment, I'm having to use different websites to download videos from each source, saveinsta, storysaver, fbdown, etc. It's driving me crazy having to do the captcha thing every time I want to download something, and I'm sure these websites are probably sketchy and full of malware, data collection, etc.

Can anyone recommend an extension I could add that will actually find and download videos from twitter, facebook, instagram, tiktok, etc?

I use Ublock. It can be used to block captchas? What script do I use to do that?
