I disable script wherever possible for security and privacy. (Currently there's one site where I have to enable it, which is Netflix.) Second, I don't like having sound, movement, or other unexpected changes in webpages. Usually I'm trying to read something. I don't want it to turn into TV or some kind of shopping mall, neon cacaphony. That's distracting. Third, in most cases if I want a video (or mp3 or PDF) at all then I'll want a copy. For instance, I sometimes download Youtube videos for guidance in repairing my truck. PDFs I download are usually for reference. So I want the file and there's no need to risk security or complicate things by loading it in the browser. I'll play it in VLC or read PDFs in my choice of PDF reader. I know you think script is not a problem. And apparently you don't mind having things jump around, pop up, pop under, animate, slideshow, or sing on webpages you visit. That's your choice. It wasn't what I asked about. I asked about download options without script. I expect there must be other people who have similar priorities. The Keepvid site actually works quite well, no script required. That's a resource I wasn't aware of. I'll have to try it next time I want a Vimeo video. In the past I've just used Download Helper FF extension, which has worked fine with Youtube script-free, but doesn't seem to work with any other sites.
