Didn't know about https://stacher.io/, will take a look.

On my favorites YouTube downloaders with UI, I have:

- Varia https://giantpinkrobots.github.io/varia/

- Media Downloader https://github.com/mhogomchungu/media-downloader/

FreeTube lets you not only view videos (sans ads, and you can block sponsors, if desired), but download them as well, and it is cross platform.
