Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Obviously, the Firefox add-on UnPlug is not actively developed currently.
 And unfortunately, the download of YouTube videos is no longer possible
 with that add-on.

 Can anyone point out please how the user can download videos from YouTube
 securely without harming one's anonymity?

 Since many videos on YouTube are not compatible with HTML5, there
 certainly are lots of people out there wishing to watch YouTube videos by
 downloading them with TorBrowser.
