Twitter Video Downloader

A lightweight client-side utility for grabbing direct video links from Twitter/X posts.

How to Use

1. Drag the link below to your bookmarks bar OR copy the code and paste it into a new bookmark.
2. Visit any page with an HTML5 video such as a Twitter/X post. YouTube will not work because videos are embedded in iframes and don't expose direct URLs. Anything that starts with blob: will also not work.
3. Click the bookmark to open the video source in a new tab.

      videoElement = videos[0];

      const index = parseInt(input.trim(), 10);
      if (isNaN(index) || index < 0 || index >= videos.length) {
