All notable changes to ClipSave for browsers are documented here. The format follows Keep a Changelog and versions follow Semantic Versioning. The extension and the helper share one version.
1.1.0 - 2026-11-04
Added
- A theme button in the popup steps through System, Light and Dark, and the popup remembers the choice.
Changed
- New crimson logo and colours in the popup and the extension icon.
Fixed
- The helper installer no longer fills a narrow terminal with rows of
#while it downloads, and skips the progress bar when there's no terminal. - Installing the helper no longer stops at a browser it can't register with, which left later browsers (such as Brave and Firefox on a Mac without Edge) unregistered. It now registers with the browsers that are set up, reports any that fail, and carries on.
1.0.0 - 2026-11-03
Added
- First release: the ClipSave extension for Chrome, Edge, Brave and Firefox, built from one codebase, and the ClipSave Helper for macOS, Windows and Linux.
- One-step setup: when the helper is missing, the popup shows the one command that installs it, with a Copy button, and carries on by itself as soon as it's installed. No browser restart.
- The popup reads the current page and lists every quality with its file size, plus MP3 and M4A audio. Any video link can also be pasted.
- Right-click menu: ClipSave → Save video and Save audio (MP3) on pages and links.
- Downloads tab with progress, cancel, retry, Show in folder and Clear finished. Downloads continue with the popup closed, and the toolbar button shows how many are running.
- The ClipSave Helper runs yt-dlp on your computer and saves to ClipSave folders in your Videos (Movies) and
Music folders. It brings its own ffmpeg and JavaScript runtime (QuickJS), so there's nothing else to
install. Installers with checksum verification:
install.sh(macOS, Linux) andinstall.ps1(Windows).clipsave-helper --versionlists the tools it found. - The Chrome version doesn't save from YouTube, following the Chrome Web Store rules. The Firefox version does.
