Online sites vs. desktop programs vs. Linkvido

Sites like SaveFrom, Y2mate, SnapTik, SSSTik and SnapInsta are handy for a quick video, but they tend to have aggressive ads, change addresses often and cap the quality. Desktop programs like 4K Video Downloader, JDownloader and ClipGrab download better, but you have to be sitting at your computer.
