ME 2 I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM
I have the same issue. I’m on Version 90.xxxx. Since version 87 there have been constant issues with Bank Mode, Ad Block and Video downloader.
Having read this and other threads since verion 87. It appears support is not listening to the Video Downlader issue. Showing someone how to turn on a non-existent extension is not a solution. Rolling back to an earlier version is not a solution. Doing a Clean install is not an solution.
Regarding clean installs they’re a complete pain because not all of the settings are restored. Export Bookmarks used to restore all settings as well as bookmarks. A new feature to restore all settings including White Lists and Auto Launch URLs for Bank Mode would reduce my reluctance to do a clean install in the future.
Version 90 appears to have fixed Bank Mode and and some of the Ad Block issues, but Video Downloader is still an issue. I have done two clean installs in the last two or three weeks which have wasted considerable time. I have attached an image of the resident extensions from a clean install from version 88 and Video Downloader is not there. So please listen to your customers when they say something is non-existent and provide a solution rather than assuming everyone is ill-informed about the basic functionality of the application.
Also it would be helpful if more than one image could be posted with each post to fully detail the many issues.
You can attach up to 4 images within the size and file type constraints, just click the (more attachments) option.
My apologies, DavidR, I overlooked the additional attachment option. Thank you for the advice.
I await your advice on solutions to the disappearance of Video Downloader from Extensions and improving/streamlining the re-install process?
You’re welcome.
Have you not investigated the link that bob3160 gave in Reply #12.
Alright please be fast i really need it!!
To whom are you addressing this, have you followed any advice in this topic, so there is little to work with.
Have you not investigated the link that bob3160 gave in Reply #12 ?
Please see attached image of Bob3160 Post #12 in this thread. If this is the post you’re referring to, I don’t really see how this provides a solution.
Or are you referring to this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWnHRin2bho in the post by cameron_mon from Feb 2017 which demonstrates how to turn on the extension? As you will note from my earlier, post Reply #22 the extension is missing, so it can’t be turned on.
What version of the Secure Browser are you using?

Hello Bob3160, as I said in post #22 I’m on Version 90. I have attached a pic, so you can verify the build number.
Also please refer to pic on post #22 to see the available extensions which does not include the Video Downloader.
Can you please point me to your solution that DavidR refered to in post #25.
Have gone through all of the steps posted in previous post to uninstall Avast and re-install Avast and like several others have also posted the Avast Video Downloader is not listed in the Extensions
The instructions have nothing to do with uninstalling Avast.
simply amazing - I have followed everything you posted here:
Maybe it’s time for a clean install of the Secure Browser
Download the installer from here, https://www.avast.com/en-us/secure-browser
Download the Secure Browser Removal tool from here, https://download.avastbrowser.com/avast_secure_browser_uninstall.exe
Save your Bookmarks via the Book Marks Manager if you have custom bookmarks so you can import them when you re-install.
Uninstall Secure Browser via Programs and Features - Reboot
Run the removal tool, reboot, run the installer import your favorites if you saved them.
A video to help with the installation: https://youtu.be/r_VLA0HMLQM
Report back if that’s solved the problem or not.
Avast has offered a separate tool to totally remove the Secure Browser if the above instructions don’t work.
You can find that tool here, https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=230288.msg1531315#msg1531315[/li][/list]
Still no Joy - Still NO Avast Video Downloader listed as an extension - Just like others have also posted - only to have someone instead ask us if it is missing in the top right of the browser hidden by the URL box - no it’s not hidden it doesn’t EXIST
Again reported to Avast. Let’s hope that helps.
Did a clean install of version 90 on a Windows 10 system and there’s no video downloaded extension.
Did a new download on Mac (version 90) and it also shows no video downloaded extension
Same trouble here. I tried everything mentioned, but… Absolutely no video downloader extention anymore! I have tried everything! GONE!! I can only download version 90. I read this: https://www.pcmag.com/news/mozilla-removes-avast-and-avg-firefox-extensions
If you have the extention, DON’T UPDATE!!! Anyway we can download version 86.???
The article is from 4 Dec 2019 and has nothing to do with the Avast Secure Browser, but Firefox. Not to mention the removed add-ons were available on Firefox not long after that.
Avast video downloader is also missing on my PCs. Last used a few months ago, went to use it last week and no longer listed in my extensions. I performed a clean uninstall/reinstall, which did not bring it back. I have developer mode enabled and it’s just not there.
Only thing of note in my installation, is I’m not using avast AV, so it’s a standalone app. I deselected the option to make it my default browser, deselected launching automatically on Windows login, & deselected pinning it to my taskbar. Otherwise I’ve not changed anything in the settings. I’ve attached images showing what I mean and my version. Win 10 Home 21H1 19043.1023. Using with Windows Defender. The avast locale I downloaded from is en-NZ, default language on installation English-UK.
I see this has been reported to avast so I’m just posting to add a little weight/numbers reporting, and a little more info about installation info in case it’s relevant. Also to make it clear it’s not the same issue as the other post about it just not showing on youtube.
