Hello, yes, it will be a dream, an amazing sweet dream, like VCAP downloader, which built an independent standalone web browser with Curl integrated into the web browser to detect embedded streaming videos ::

https://vcapdl.com/

https://curl.se/

after trial period, if you don't pay, VCAP downloader only allows you to download low quality videos, like youtube 144p....

but the concept of VCAP downloader is revolutionary, so no more dependence on arbitrary decisions of stores like the chrome store which prohibits downloading encrypted hls videos....

there is also efetch, the desktop downloader tool with micro integrated web browser to download videos:

https://efetch.net/

i also found a desktop tool similar to efetch to download videos:

https://123sudo.com/desktop/9xbuddy
https://123sudo.com/mobile/9xbuddy
https://9xbuddy.com/en
https://9xbuddy.online/en
https://123sudo.com/fr

i also found arrowdl download manager which integrates the famous downthemall extension, i thought arrowdl could detect embedded streaming hls videos but unfortunately it can't:

https://github.com/setvisible/ArrowDL

The dream please is to have an independant standalone Cat-Catch web browser with integrated curl to free from technical constraints, store censorships, youtube blacklist.....

we know it's difficult but it's the ultimate dream so that Cat-Catch can be the best downloader in the history of humanity! Thanks !

and may be the dream, I mean the Cat-Catch eventual future independent standalone web browser with Cat Catch natively integrated can be built on electron which embeds Chromium and Node.js to enable web developers to make desktop applications! :

https://www.electronjs.org/

or based on electron player:

https://github.com/Alex313031/quark-player

and

and we hope google and mozilla will be more flexible, or add specific flags to give more freedom to developers and users concerning APIs.....

i think users, like me, are ready to install specifically special google chrome for developers :

https://www.google.com/intl/fr/chrome/dev/

or

Firefox Developer Edition :

https://www.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/developer/

if these web browsers for developers offer more high-level API and more flexibility to extensions....

if this is the case, maybe it will be a good idea to develop a special version of the extension for these special browsers for developers, or even make (maybe with electron web browser) a special browser with high-level API access and with Live stream downloader natively integrated (with ublock origin integrated) to make independent standalone Cat Catch web browser,
like vcap downloader, coc coc browser....
