The only issue I have with youtube-dl is that there's nothing stopping Google from playing hardball and blocking youtube-dl completely.

That said, I'd love a Firefox plugin that dumps the YT url directly to youtube-dl.

This userscript downloads the video via the browser. I guess YouTube shouldn't be able to tell if the user downloads the video or views it with the html5 player. The script can be used with Firefox (Greasemonkey) and Chrome. http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/98782 Please only use it to download videos that are under a free license or otherwise allow downloads. ;)
