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

I click the DownloadHelper icon on the Firefox
toolbar. The alternative with youtube-dl
is to open a console window, type the incantation,
then copy and paste the URL from Firefox or
whatever other source. Then where did it download
the file to? Who knows? I'll have to read the vast
command line switch docs to figure that out.


Unless otherwise specified, it's most likely going to be stored in
the folder from which you executed the program from. That's usually
the case. And, incidently, I didn't recommend any console based
downloader for video/audio leeching. I recommended a friendly plugin
for firefox; nice little 'gui' based thing. No promises it works with
the latest POS mozilla released as I don't run that on this machine,
because I like the plugins I have.
