Do you wish to download YouTube videos? You don’t know how to download YouTube videos. You can get into serious trouble with malware or viruses by using the wrong tool. We’ll be looking at YouTube downloader Y2Mate today. Is it safe or can it cause serious problems to your computer’s performance?
Y2Mate, which is used to download audio and videos from YouTube, is very popular. You can convert thousands of audio and videos from YouTube, Facebook and Dailymotion. It can be used to download video files such as MP4, M4V or MP3, but safety is the main concern.
The short answer to that question is “No!” The Y2Mate website is full of annoying popups and ads that will take you to random websites that can infect your laptop or desktop. It’s not worth reading about. Let’s see if the fears are real or rumors that prevent you from using it.
Y2Mate is not secure, as mentioned earlier. Y2Mate is not very secure due to scammy popups that appear and browser push notifications that are constantly annoying you. I was unable to download a YouTube royalty-free song through the website. This caused me some concern. It’s easy to download. It is a popular choice among users.
Just go to the site, click on the link and choose the resolution and format you would like to download.
Clicking one of the Download buttons will bring up a popup saying “Preparing Your Download”. This is a sign that your file has been processed. Once the file is processed, however, it displays the last download button. I clicked this to redirect me to another website, which looked suspicious. The file was still being downloaded in the background.
I need to credit where credit is due. You can see that the download worked. However, my Ad Blocker also blocked me to a malicious webpage that was flagged as dangerous.
While the video ran as expected, the security flaws of the website are alarming. My computer would be infected if I did not have an ad blocking program to prevent viruses and ads. I would not recommend that you download Y2Mate because it is unsafe for regular users.
Y2Mate should be avoided if you don’t wish to be bombarded by ads or notifications, and if you don’t mind getting infected with malware or viruses. If you’re not careful, you could get in trouble.
If you feel you must use their website, make sure your browser has an ad-blocker extension or popup blocking extension. You should also close all popups and refuse to click on the “Allow” button when the website requests notifications.
