Hello everyone,
I'm trying to keep my Zorin OS setup relatively lightweight, so I prefer using the browser for occasional tasks instead of installing a separate application for every small job.
One thing I'm curious about is how other Zorin users handle saving publicly available videos from websites.
For occasional Facebook videos, I've come across a browser-based service called fdown.media. It doesn't require installing a separate Linux application, which is the reason I came across it.
I'm more interested in the general Zorin OS approach than recommending a particular service.
For this type of task, would you normally prefer:
- a browser-based service;
- a native Linux application;
- a command-line tool; or
- another approach?
I'm also interested in the security/privacy side. What do you normally check before using an unfamiliar web-based service on Zorin OS?
For example, do you check whether it requires an account, asks for permissions, uses unnecessary redirects, or has a clear privacy policy?
I'd appreciate hearing how other Zorin users approach this.
