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

part of your video, it's actually another file entirely AND you can
opt to download it too, if you wanted.


Thanks for the clarification as that explains also how the youtube
downloader does it.

This gets the video sans slipstream:
youtube-dl.exe -f 18 http://the-url-goes-here

This adds the slipstream advertisement:
youtube-dl.exe -f 18 --include-ads http://the-url-goes-here

Although I can't imagine anyone wanting to use that switch.
