You don't need a Chrome extension to download Facebook videos in 2026. A free online tool like indirici.net works directly in Chrome without requiring any installation, permissions, or account access.
Why Avoid Chrome Extensions for Facebook Video?
- They request permission to read and change all your data on websites you visit
- Many are abandoned and stop working after Facebook updates
- Some are malicious — they can steal cookies or inject ads
- They may be sold to data brokers after gaining a user base
Using a web-based tool instead means zero browser permissions are needed.

Our tool detects available quality levels and lets you choose.
