Features
VDLGo is in development. The table below is a plan; timing and scope may change.
Use VDLGo only with videos you own or are allowed to save. It does not support DRM-protected video or sites whose terms forbid downloading, such as YouTube.

Permissions and privacy design
- Minimal permissions at install. Site-wide detection is optional on first run.
- If you decline, basic use on the current tab still works.
- There is no feature to bypass decryption. DRM video cannot be saved.
