The Definitive Safety Checklist: How to identify a Trustworthy Video Downloader

The "Free" Cost

If you aren't paying, you are the product. Bad sites sell your data or mine crypto on your CPU.

🚩 Red Flags (Run Away)

1. "Install Extension": Never do it.
2. Notification Spam: "Click Allow to verify" -> Scams.
3. Reference Executables: If you get an .exe or .apk instead of .mp4, it is a virus.

✅ Green Flags (SSDown)

1. HTTPS: Secure connection.
2. No Login: We never ask for passwords.
3. Transparent Ads: Static banners, no popups.
4. Server-Side: We do the heavy lifting.

Zero Trust Policy: If it asks to install, say NO. Use web-based tools only.
