Yep. I'm having the same problem.

It's not just comments though. From about one year ago, the YouTube downloader allows downloading the videos but the mp3 option is "greyed out" so you're unable to download the music only. Before that, avast Secure Browser used to give you the option of downloading the .mp3 at different qualities.

Hi, see: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=235335.0
I suggest you post in the Avast Secure Browser section of the forum, in particular the thread given in Asyn's link in reply #1 above where this issue is already being discussed by other users.

I've reported the problem to Avast.
In the latest beta, there isn't any problem with the video downloader.
