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

Since I always give back, in detail, for any help, here is a
tutorial that should work for anyone.


Your tutorial is no doubt very useful to some. But, I found an
excellent plugin for the firefox browser which tends to require no real
effort on my part to grab the video/audio I want without having to jump
thru any hoops or install additional software. I've yet to run across a
video/audio file it can't pull a local copy of for me, and, it's not
specific to youtube. Not only does it do a fantastic job of getting me
exactly what I want, there's no slipstreamed advertising or re-encoding
required on my part. It pulls the specific video in the format I want
(if multiple formats of the video are available) without having to
transcode, re-encode or strip anything. And, it's able to pull at the
speed I'd normally directly download a file with too. IE: much faster
than watching said video.

It can do it with the browsers built in downloading code, or, if you
have one or more supported download managers, pass it along to them. I
actually have orbit on this machine (it's not freeware or wasn't when I
obtained it) and I can switch over to it if I'd prefer, but, I rarely
find a need to do so.
