Lost my "download this video"

[OFSO]

Until a couple of days ago, when I hovered the cursor over the top of the screen, Realplayer would ask me if I wanted to download any video I was watching, such as YouTube etc., and save it was a .flv file. Now, it quite suddenly doesn't.

Anyone else experienced this, and has the dastardly act anything to do with Google Chrome ?

Chrome version 25 has tightened its security model a little and will disable extensions previously installed by other applications the first time you run it, and pop up a message telling you. You can re-enable the extensions.

reinstall Realplayer, it may just be broken

and move away from Chrome, unless you want Google to track your every move on the internet

move away from Chrome

I went over to Chrome because IE had suddenly become horribly slow. Cleared cache, cookies, defraged, ran anti-virus scans, no improvement.

Then went over to Chrome which was very fast. Also there is a bug which prevents me accessing the website I run on IE, with Chrome, no problem.

Then use something like SRWIron, which is Chrome without the privacy issues.

Replaced Real Player with new version which "resolves compatability problems with Chrome", ticked downloader box, Chrome informed me downloader extension had been added...but still no pop-up box asking if I want to download this video.....

Type chrome:plugins in the address bar. Find RealPlayer. Click Enable.
