Active media detection
Feed-style pages often contain multiple videos. The extension prioritizes the visible player the user is actually watching.
Direct video downloads, without the junk
Detect the playable video. Save the file you actually want.
Video Detector is a Chrome extension built for supported direct video files. It keeps the flow simple: detect the active media on the page, show a clean download option, and stay out of the way.

Designed to reduce noise, not add it.
The extension is tuned to prefer the active visible media, avoid junk detections, and keep the popup readable instead of dumping every network request in front of the user.
Cleaner direct-file focus
Built around supported direct formats like MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV, AVI, and M4V instead of every blob or segment request.
One-click workflow
Open the popup, confirm the candidate, and download. The extension keeps the path short when a supported file is available.
Lifetime unlock
Upgrade once with a Lifetime Pro license instead of paying a recurring subscription.
