The following VPN's are compromised.
These products were bought by an Israeli run company called Kape Technologies (formerly known as Crossrider).
This company is run by a nefarious Israeli felon with ties to Malware, hacking, Israeli intelligence, and selling private data. Their company is slowly buying all the top VPN review websites and changes their articles to say that your privacy is not safe with their competitors, and put Express VPN and their other products at the top of the review lists.
If you use any of these VPN's. Get rid of them ASAP.

Consider using Proton VPN or Mullvad VPN with Wireguard. The best VPN is going to be one you make yourself though.

• Choose the video quality.
• Then click the copy URL icon. This will open the video.
• Right-click the video, and choose "Copy Link Address".
• To upload to an app like Telegram without downloading, click the open-file paperclip icon of an app, paste the video URL there, remove everything after .MP4 in the file name (i.e. .mp4?tag=12), and then press enter. It will upload directly to Telegram.
[See demonstration video below]
Youtube videos: https://ddownr.com/

• Right click Download and click "Copy Link Address"
• Paste that into any file upload bar as mentioned above to directly upload the video.

Facebook videos: Replace www. in the URL with mbasic. (mobile viewing), then click the video to view the video file source directly on your browser.

Quick Access:
When these websites are open. I recommend that you highlight the URL, then click and drag it into your bookmark bar, and rename it to something really short. i.e. "Twitter ↓" for quick access.
"Why doesn't it work for me?"
If you click the video download and it opens file explorer, or this trick does not work. Right-click the video hyperlink or download button and copy that URL, and use that instead. If it still does not work. You will need to use a URL shortener because for some reason the file explorer is better at grabbing from shorter URL's.
Paste your incredibly long and ugly video source URL into one of these two websites:
https://bitly.ws/
https://www.urlday.com/
(These ones because they're free and don't require an account)
Then paste the shortened URL into the open-file-explorer on whatever app you're trying to upload to, i.e. Telegram, Twitter, Facebook, etc. And it will work. If you cannot copy the download button's URL. Find a different website using this search on DuckDuckGo or Yandex Search, "Download SITENAME videos online free".
As always, always check strange new URL's on a website like "https://wheregoes.com/" first to make sure it goes directly to that website, and doesn't pass through any sketchy domains first.
And if you use any of these free sites enough. Please consider donating like $5 to them. These people are eating immense server costs purely as an act of free community service.

Google is so powerful that it "hides" other search systems from us. We just don't know the existence of most of them.
Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information.
www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.
www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.
https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.
www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.
http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.
www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.
www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free

Search "Camera sliders" to discover camera sliders for your front phone-camera. These might work better than electrical tape for people that intend to use their cameras for various tasks. As the glue makes the camera blurry until it's wiped off. To make them last long, avoid keeping them in direct sunlight or in a hot car. It will break-down the adhesive and they won't last as long.
For blocking the back camera, you want to glue scratch-proof MICROFIBER cloth (like what eye doctors provide with glasses), to a bendy silicone case. When you want to take a picture, just bend the case. If you use paper or anything else, it will over time, act like sand-paper and scratch away the lens of your camera until all photos are blurry.
Phone cases with built-in screen protectors like Otterbox, are junk. Do not buy them. They get filled with dust very quickly, are hard to clean, and if they get damaged requires you to replace the entire case instead of a cheap gorilla glass cover.

Search "Camera sliders" to discover camera sliders for your front phone-camera. These might work better than electrical tape for people that intend to use their cameras for various tasks. As the glue makes the camera blurry until it's wiped off. To make them last long, avoid keeping them in direct sunlight or in a hot car. It will break-down the adhesive and they won't last as long.
For blocking the back camera, you want to glue scratch-proof MICROFIBER cloth (like what eye doctors provide with glasses), to a bendy silicone case. When you want to take a picture, just bend the case. If you use paper or anything else, it will over time, act like sand-paper and scratch away the lens of your camera until all photos are blurry.
Phone cases with built-in screen protectors like Otterbox, are junk. Do not buy them. They get filled with dust very quickly, are hard to clean, and if they get damaged requires you to replace the entire case instead of a cheap gorilla glass cover.
