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

I strongly believe that Youtube *CAN* slipstream advertisement so
smoothly and smart that no one could detect an insertion of advertisements!

Let's see whether this would happen in the future. Wanna bet?


Let's try to stay on topic.

The topic is:
Does anyone know of this slipstream-ad-free functionality on Windows?

[NOTE: Two people implied Adblock blocks those slipstream ads - but nobody
who implied it has answered the direct question yet and they haven't said
how Adblock extracts the audio from the video or how Adblock downloads the
video in its entirety (even if it's 3 hours long).]

Your question is *great* which is *how* New Pipe blocks what you call
slipstream ads.

I don't know how. But they do.

I also get your cynicism that Google could block New Pipe since it directly
competes with YouTube Red features.

However, the fact is that NewPipe is *years* old.

The fact is that if Google wanted to kill them - it wouldn't take years for
Google to block them - would it?

Let's try to stay on topic where I will answer your questions as best I
can.

The on-topic perfectly valid question here is whether or not a New Pipe
functionality exists on Windows yet - and how hard would it be for a coder
to compile the code on Windows since it's all Open Source Code?
