I just want to say... is it legal to download videos? But I'd like to try the suggested tool when I find some funny videos As I think the uploaders have shared it to public, they would not care who want to have it for private fun

Here is what You Tube has to say:

What is fair use?
Fair use is a legal doctrine that says you can reuse copyright-protected material under certain circumstances without getting permission from the copyright owner. Check out the videos below for helpful examples of fair use.

The details provided can not be shorten to a five word sentence. Fair use has strict limits, even if not precise.

There is actually no silver bullet that will guarantee you are protected by fair use when you use copyrighted material you don’t own

Courts has ruled that stupidity is not a defense.
