If you've tried Facebook video downloader extensions before, you may have noticed they frequently disappear from the Chrome Web Store. Here's why:

• Policy violations - Google has strict policies about download tools
• Copyright concerns - Facebook reports extensions that facilitate downloads
• Abandoned by developers - Many extensions aren't maintained
• Security issues - Some extensions are found to contain malware

Troubleshooting Chrome Downloads

Download Starts But Fails

This can happen if Chrome's download settings are restrictive. Check: Settings → Privacy and Security → Site Settings → Additional content settings → Automatic downloads. Allow downloads from our site.

Video Opens Instead of Downloading

Right-click the download button and select "Save link as..." instead of left-clicking. This forces a download rather than playing in browser.

Can't Find Downloaded File

Press Ctrl+J (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+J (Mac) to open Chrome's download manager. You'll see all recent downloads and can click to open the file location.
