Hm, that is a puzzler then.
As for spud collecting, it wasn't working as of a couple days ago (haven't tried it since) but my preferred extension is "Video DownloadHelper" (with just the one space for three words) as it lets you pick any of the available resolutions or convert to a number of alternate formats locally using ffmpeg without messing around with console commands or further external software.
In the meantime, I've been using "Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express" which has a more limited selection and unless someone with the paid premium version has requested it recently enough to be in the server side buffer does not allow 1080p video or MP3 conversions on its own. The error message it adds about this when it fails says 720p as well, but I have never had a 720p download fail and mostly only keep things at that resolution anyway, so insert shrug emoji here.
I leave both of them installed, as the first has a browser bar button and context menu item, while the second injects a button with a drop down menu on the actual web pages next to the like/dislike and Share buttons, and neither conflicts with each other or anything else as far as I can tell, and usually even if an update breaks one for a while (a few days to a week at most from what I can recall) the other keeps working.
