r/jdownloader

​

A scary pattern that some websites have started using...

Something weird I came across today on sites like RedGIFs and xFree: it’s like there’s no actual link on the pages anymore! All video downloader extensions are saying they can't detect any media or page at all. Even web scraping extensions fail completely to see what’s on the page.

Will this going to effect j downloader ? On top of that, I noticed the URL in my browser address bar doesn't change when clicking around different things on the site, and I can't even go back to the previous page properly!

I'm genuinely worried this pattern will spread to YouTube, TikTok, and every other major platform. Is this going to end the world of video downloading for good?! Holy moly.
