HLS Downloader is a free and open-source program on GitHub that allows you to download videos from websites that employ the HLS streaming protocol.
It will first detect the m3u8 playlist link and then offer options for resolutions, allowing you to download material in the quality you desire. HLS Downloader extension is available for Firefox and Edge browsers. If you want to use it on Chrome, you can download it from GitHub and add the Chrome extension manually.

With a few touches, you may download images, movies, audio, and other materials to your smartphone.
