Default Is there an ad-free YouTube clone for Windows like NewPipe is for Android?

How do you stop in-video advertisement?


This is a *great* question!

I do not know *how* they stop *all* the in-video advertisements but they do
stop them. You can play, play, play, play, play, to your heart's content,
and you will *never* see any in-video advertisements.

The open-source page on New Pipe says they only use the public YouTube API
so the API must be what is used to play those annoying in-video ads.

Does this app know how to do that?


Yes. You will *never* see an in-video ad when you use the New Pipe player,
but it's even better than that as New Pipe allows you to use *any* player
you want - and you *still* don't see any in-video ads.

Since they use the youtube public API, there must be a way in the public
api to play those annoying in-video ads - where apparently New Pipe doesn't
do it. The good news is that the New Pipe open source code is constantly
improving - so it should be ready for Windows by now.

The code is open source so if you know how to read code (I don't), you can
see exactly how the New Pipe core extractor works.

Why can't the open-source New Pipe code be compiled for Windows?
