How to Download Hulu Videos from the Web Browser
When you don't feel like installing the Hulu App, you can also use a web browser like Microsoft Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera to watch Hulu videos on your PC or Mac. Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer on Windows and Safari on Mac (Yosemite or later) are the only browsers that support 1080p resolution. Interestingly, Google Chrome does not qualify here, although it is by far the most popular browser. Chrome, Firefox, and Opera all stream at 720p.
It is quite simple to play and watch Hulu videos from the web browser. Just to check it out for yourself, point your browser to www.hulu.com and log in. Or, if you're a fan of shortcuts, install the Chrome web app or Windows 10 app on your device. If it's your first time visiting the site or using the web app, you may also need to enable your browser location services.
Hulu's offline downloads feature is available in the Hulu app for Android, iOS and iPadOS. However, on a web browser, you can only watch the videos, you can't download them and watch them offline like you can on the Hulu App. Please don't worry, you can use a third-party downloader tool like Kigo Hulu Video Downloader for the purpose of downloading Hulu videos from your browser. Kigo helps you download a wide variety of videos from Hulu, including movies, TV shows, and more. Whether you are a Hulu ad-supported user or Hulu without Ads user, you can download them offline from Hulu.com or Hulu.jp in MP4 or MKV format with Kigo.
And you can also choose the language of the reserved audio tracks and subtitles during the download process. If you only need a certain audio, subtitle, or video file, you can also choose to download the subtitle, audio, or video separately, and Kigo gives you three modes of subtitle storage, including Internal, External, and Hardcode subtitles. The new version using the new technology gives users faster download speeds, saving 75% of the time compared to previous downloads when hardware acceleration is enabled.
