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



Windows has a native adblocker feature to allow YouTube streaming
without ads


This is a *great* idea.
How does one turn on this "native adblocker feature" in Windows?


You download a hosts (ad blacklist) file and copy it into
c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a browser addon that can download
and extract from YouTube vids.


There's no value to an addon when all that is needed is a single command:
youtube-dl.exe -f 18 {URL}


Command line downloading is inefficient if you want to download
multiple vids or extract multiple mp3s at a time.
