I wouldn't need such a tool usually, but when I watch content in my native language, the sites are clearly overused, and the video blocks every 5 seconds. On Android I use LJ Video Downloader, and I'm wondering if there's something for Windows.

https://cobalt.tools/ works for some things that I've needed that yt-dlp wasnt able to

It doesnt do playlists tho so its a bit labor intensive—i have to really want the videos and be unable to source them literally anywhere else at the time and it requires you to schlepp thru each single video to download manually with cobalt. Copy paste, copy paste over and over till you get every item
