How do you know if a website is safe?
When downloading videos from YouTube, there is little care for your security, so before learning how to download your favorite videos on the web, find out how you can know if the website you are using to do so is really safe.
The first thing you should notice on a website is the security seal in the top left corner of the screen, right next to the url of the page you are accessing.
This seal is usually formatted by a padlock icon, and indicates that the site meets appropriate security standards, and is usually accompanied by the acronym “https” right before the domain.
If the site meets these criteria, it is very likely that the address is 100% safe, and you can use it with peace of mind.
Even so, if you are still not completely sure whether the address is trustworthy, it is worth researching the site's history and reputation or even looking for references about the registration of that domain.
