    You can add it as a right-click option to Firefox:

    • Install: https://webextension.org/listing/external-application-button.html
    • In the Extension options, add an application
    • Name it something like “Open in YT-DLP: mp4”
    • Set the exe name to the path of a local copy of yt-dlp
    • Set the arguments to be -S res,ext:mp4:m4a --recode mp4 [HREF]
    • Under the Placement options -> Context Menu -> select “All Contexts”

    You should now be able to right click on a YouTube page and choose “External Application launcher -> Open in YT-DLP: mp4”

    If you want audio only, add another application in the extension settings and use the arguments -f ba[ext=m4a] [HREF] for m4a files.
