Is there any browser for Win98 that can save Youtube Videos?

Firefox wont let me install extensions any more, and Seamonkey can only
use versions 1.x, which dont have the ability to use extensions (that
began in ver 2.x). K-Meleon dont have that ability. What else is there?

Have you looked for a non-browser solution? There a re quite a number
of youtube downloaders, and quite likely some that are 98-compatible.
Just google "youtube downloader"

From looking at them a while back, I think most are rather "spammy".
Getting them to work on XP was hard enough then let alone W98. There's
one written in the Python language which might work if Python can be
installed on Win98.

Here it is:

Try installing the Python library separately if the combined Windows
binary doesn't work.

But an easier option would probably be one of these sites that I have
found to work with Firefox 2 without Java or Flash:
http://en.savefrom.net/
http://www.keepvid.com/

In Keepvid you need to select the "HTML" option at the bottom of the
page. Sometimes it still doesn't work - HTML support seems to break a
lot there.

SaveFrom has always worked for me in FF2, but I haven't used it in
over a month and I think they changed the site a bit. Hopefully it's
still OK.

Of course make sure Javascript is enabled in your settings.

This is an easy way to find download sites:
http://www.deturl.com/

Yep, I found savefrom.net, and it works fine. But yes, it does need
javascript enabled. Cool site!

They do want me to install something, but I dont need it, and it
probably wont run undr Win98 anyhow. I hesitate to try it, because I
suspect it's some sort of toolbar. And this is a "toolbar free zone".
