Hey there lads, sorry for all my niggardly questions about tech. I'm pretty useless when it comes to computers. Try to be a capable man not a leech, and contribute lots more to my favorite site. In fact, I'm planning a big series of instructional video tutorials on homesteading skills, accompanied by my library documents of how our ancestors used to thrive, plus tips from modern folks on adjusting to what is no longer available etc.
But in the case of tech, I'm sadly a leech on you kind folks! Could anyone please help me out with how to download from bitchute? I tried reading up and it seems like the site doesn't use normal video embedding? Its a torrent maybe? Can anyone confirm if I'm on the right track there? How would one go about getting them for offline viewing? Going off the grid one day is the goal but I want a collection of music, redpills, entertainment, and skill tutorials to entertain and teach myself and my kids!
I've always been wary of torrents, its probably irrational but it scares me since I don't understand much. Rather than being on the sites server, its on peers computers and you download it from those seeders, and that also scares since they could give viruses. Is there a safe way to do this? Sorry for being illiterate with this stuff! I will return the favor of any help with my skill videos to come and access to my cache of data! Cheers lads!

It is an add-on for Firefox. Waterfox is a fork of Firefox without all of the crap.
There is a Chrome version, but I don't use Chrome. I'm sure it is the same.
Those are the only browsers supported.
You can install Waterfox, install the add-on and only use it to download Bitchute videos.

Sorry I wasn't clear. I use waterfox, but the page for the ad on has a download button but it won't download unless I first download firefox

Link to Add-On page for Firefox/Waterfox
You should be able to download from the link above, it goes straight to the Add-On page. Waterfox should be able to use the Add-On, if not let me know and we can find another way to get it.
Once installed make sure you change the download directory in the settings, the default one is kinda hard to find.

Is it telling you that your version of Firefox is no longer supported (or some such)?
If so, you can scroll down the page and click the see all versions link on the left to find an older, compatible version, otherwise, find the homepage link and install it from there (disclaimer: I cannot personally vouch for that site, even though it's linked to the official Mozilla page; use your judgement).
