Did visiting video downloading services like KeepVid.com strike you as somewhat of a security concern? If such a concern was floating around in your mind, check out the YouTube & Google Video bookmarklets which offer one-click downloading of your currently viewed video.

In March 2006 a digg.com frontpage story promoted KeepVid.com, a web site targeted at helping people with downloading files from popular video publishing services such as Google Video or YouTube. The service instantly appealed to many video clip aficionados, but I considered visiting the Keepvid.com website for each and every video download uncomfortable and undesirable with regard to privacy. Hence I built my own scripts.

I never thought about visiting free downloading sites such as KeepVid a security concern, but these bookmarklets sure are handy! The all-in-one bookmarklet supports YouTube, Google Video, Metacafe, Myspace, Break.com, Putfile, Dailymotion, Sevenload, MyVideo.de and Clipfish.de.
