How to download Youtube videos with no 3rd party software

At home, when I am watching some Youtube videos which I like to share, or at the very least, like to play on a bigger screen television, I normally use software like YTD downloader or other similar programs which allows you to extract the video and download it, and store on your computer for offline viewing. That's all well and dandy, but how about if you're outside, or at a public computer and you'd want to do the same?

Normally, as the set-up in most internet cafes, public libraries or other public computers, downloading, installing or running executable files may not be possible. So far, I have only found one alternative which may be helpful if you ever find yourself in a similar plight: wanting to download a video for later viewing, but not having the option to do so.

You can go to http://en.savefrom.net/ and input the video's URL and it would attempt to generate a download link for you for all the available qualities for the said video for you to choose.

Be wary, though, of the buttons to click, as some buttons are actually ads which lead to other third party websites.
