Get this extension for firefox, and download Lossless media editor and converter. I chose to configure the extension to ask to rename downloaded files and download max quality. Start a recurbate video, and then quickly click on the extension. Then click download on max.m3u8. If it doesn't say "Unknown size" then refresh the page. The extension will not work appropriately if the are too many things on the list so press clear list to remove all the excess and it will leave the videos downloading.
HLS works by sending individual segments of a video and doing a security check on the request, so a 300Mb video will have like 200 individual segments that download into a .ts format. I don't download more than 4 videos at a time because you will end up with partial videos. At some point the site will just end the connection early. You can do more just be prepared to sort out partial downloads and redownload videos.
Once the .ts file has been downloaded and you verify the duration matches the original video; open the file with Lossless. Click export at the bottom right and change it to the file type that you want, mp4. Check the duration of the newly converted file to make sure it matches the original.
Converting .ts to .mp4 has a low chance of failing, and leaving you with a partial file. Lossless can mitigate this by segmenting the file before the failure point. If a file is an hour long, but when you export it's 26 minutes then segment the file before the fracture point. Segmenting the file can also be done based of byte size. If a site limits uploads to 2GB then segment them into 1800MB chucks because the file size will increase around 100-300 MB.
