Hi,
I’m using the Avast Secure Browser on my Laptop, Desktop and Mobile. I’m experiencing an issue though, which is that Avast Video Downloader is only present on my browser installed on my laptop. On my laptop I did not do anything for it to be activated, I just noticed it as a function when I used the browser. Is there a way to activate this in the browser settings? I’ve looked around, but haven’t found any information on this.
Thanks!
Aslak.
Hello, aslakkvarstein! Thank you for your posting! Avast Video Downloader extension can be activate(enable/disable) clicking on the menu icon (3 dots)/More Tools/Extensions/Avast Video Downloader. Please, let me know if this solved your request. Thank you!
I’m also having problem with the video downloader not showing up. I’m using ASB version 88.0 and no extensions are shown in More Tools/Extensions.
Hi, enable dev mode to see the extensions.
What if there are no more extensions visible when I enter Dev mode? only user feedback and avast passwords are there. With Dev mode off there is only avast Passwords.
A week ago I formatted everything and started again…just one of those days. Now, I’m having this problem.
Any help appreciated. I’ll just keep cruising around for answers.
You could try a clean reinstall of ASB. See/Follow Bob’s instructions.

No luck I’m afraid.
I’m trying to work out if I’ve missed something basic.
checked for updates, uninstalled and now uninstalled using that other method.
Is there something in avast security I need to play with? that wouldn’t make any sense.
anywhere to download individual extensions?
Click on the three-dot menu, more tools, select extensions
When that opens, make sure Developer mode (top right) is ON.
Once it’s on, you’ll see the video downloader. Make sure it’s turned on.
That should solve your problem.
I just put this together and hope it helps.

unfortunately, that was the very first thing I checked. I followed all of those steps and as I previously stated, the only extensions are avast passwords and user feedback. that is with dev mode on. with dev mode off only passwords is visible.
so, we can cross that firmly off the list as a solution.
thank you all the same.
I’m absolutely stumped
I don’t know what instructions you followed but,
with Developer mode OFF, nothing shows.
What version of the Secure Browser are you running?
I’m on version 88
Here’s the version I’m using.

I notice quite a few missing extensions in your screenshot.
hahahaha. Thats why I’m here searching for advice 
FIXED!
I gave up and uninstalled again. I thought I might try another version. I’m now back on 86.1.numbers and everything is back to normal. I have no idea what changed.
Thank you all for you advice. Apologies for my vaguely obtuse and sarcastic manner. Its all good natured.
I’ll talk to you all again in 2 or 3 years (hopefully longer) when something else goes wrong
Let’s hope you will not have any other problems.
sweet burn
Based on the number of views this topic it sees to be an active problem. With versions 89 and 90 the video download extension is missing. I just did a new install of win10 pro and installed (first time ASB 89). I went into the extension with developer switch on and the video download extension is not there. It is missing so it could not be turned on (a previous solution). I did an uninstall using https://download.avastbrowser.com/avast_secure_browser_uninstall.exe and installed ASB again using https://www.avast.com/en-us/secure-browser. The new install was ver 90. Same thing not video download extension. At this point I just want to know if this is a problem with the newer versions of ASB, win10 pro, or something specific to using win10 pro or one of its settings. If you are seeing the same thing please post that you have seen the problem. Obviously, if you have a solution please post the solution.
It isn’t missing or gone,

Make sure that the address bar isn’t extended and hiding the icon
If you hover your mouse over the far right end of the address bar, it can be made smaller. (shorter)
I am having the same problem as tm54776. Video downloader is not in extensions.
Over recent weeks I have had bank mode disappear off task bar and have to go through menu to open it. It reappeared as an icon after a reinstall but the link would not work, thus had to continue opening through menu. It was while fixing this problem that I noticed video downloader was in the extensions but not switched on (I had thought maybe YT had blocked its use and that is why it had not been available for a while). Then ad block kept saying it had access to site but did not block any ads. Over the last week I have uninstalled and reinstalled both the premium security program and the browser. Each time I manage to fix something something else goes missing. Currently it is the video downloader. The main thing is ad blocker is working again after the reinstall.
