I use Librewolf, alternatively, Floorp, so I wonder if there's anything I can use on them to download videos with.

And I plan on using them on sites similar to hianime, but I'm tired of like, finding one stream and it dies, then having to go find another .etc

I want to save my favorite series so I can have something to watch reliably than something that is operating on uncertainty.

Any ideas?

I feel the exact opposite. Going back to torrents made everything so much easier. Especially for anime which has a very active torrent community.

I start the VPN, I start the torrent client, I go on the anime-cat website and a few minutes later I can watch the episode(s). And not even using any of the *arr tools.

The biggest hurdle is really just the VPN, because it costs money (but might even be optional depending on your jurisdiction).

Yeah, like I can almost understand the “torrenting is too hard” argument if you’re just going to pay for the official streams but once you want to download them just grab one of the copies that someone already did (and potentially improved)
