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

The NewPipe open source software on F-Droid is basically YouTube on
steroids, where it searches, views, plays, extracts, downloads, etc.,
youtube videos without any advertisements.

The main three things it does for you over YouTube are
1. No advertisements
2. Extracts audio from video (if you want that)
3. Downloads the video (if you want that)

NOTE: DO NOT USE the New Pipe on Google Play - it's a knockoff of the
F-Droid open source code but with added annoyances and ads.
