Would this be the correct download page if I wanted
to install it? Should I?

Yes it's a valid download page. You have little to lose by trying it -
you don't have to use it if you don't like how it works, and can always
unload it. I haven't downloaded it recently, so will give the usual
warnings - watch out for extras you don't want, both during the download
and during the install.

Do also get youtube-dl.exe; don't be put off by Paul's mention of Linux
- it works just as well in Windows.

All such download things have a constant arms race with operators of
video-containing websites. Some have automatic updaters, some manual. So
far, the only times I've found youtube-dl has failed, I've updated it
(very simple: you type "youtube-dl -U"), and the new version had already
had incorporated into it whatever had broken the previous version.

The death of democracy is not likely to be an assassination from ambush.
It will be a slow extinction from apathy, indifference, and undernourishment.
