Windows users are usually stuck with the flexibility of IDM when we switch to linux. When I moved to Linux I have to find alternatives.

  • youtube-dl (Its available in the command line- $ man youtube-dl to see usage)

  • VideoDownloadHelper. --Firefox addon

  • 4kdownloader. I use this everyday. Download playlist and individual files, extract only the audio as well. Its paid app but the trick is, look for an older version and install. It works so well. I am using version 4.2.0

Answer: Installing Internet Download Manager isn't always easy. Especially when IDM integration wouldn't work like it should. If you have tried adding your browser through IDM Option but still does not work, try this method.

Hi GDM,

I'm Amr, an independent advisor.

You can download the extension simply from the store for

Chrome

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/idm-i...

Edge

https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/deta...

Mozilla

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/...

Opera

https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/...

For Brave, I couldn't find the link, but you can try this

First, remove the IDM extension from Brave.

Find a file with this name: IDMGCExt.crx in folder brave installed.

My device is C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Download Manager.

open extensions and enable developer mode and then drag and drop that file to Brave.

Make sure the extension is enabled.

Note after downloading the extension for each browser reopen it so it can be activated

I hope this is helpful. If you require any additional assistance, don't hesitate to respond to this.

This is a user-to-user support forum. We're users just like you helping other users to find solutions to their problems.

Best Regard

Amr

Google tells that IDM extension may soon no longer be supported
You need to open "Options->General" IDM dialog and enable "Extend the availability of Manifest 2 Chrome extensions" option. Then it should be possible to enable our extension. Perhaps you will have to restart Google Chrome (if it was running).
