To avoid adware ... download from https://clipgrab.org/ -> Show all download options (link)-> ClipGrab for Windows (panel) ->
Version 3.6.1 download was clean from developer ... no adware checked with Virus Total
MP4 downloads are limited to 480 pixels, ok on cell-phones but not the best on TV screens
Works where several online capture/converters fail ;)
Definitely a keeper

After a few months from my previous attempt, I wanted to give ClipGrab another chance so, I tried to use it again.
With a pleasant surprise, the current version (3.8.5) works perfectly also on Fedora.
The search function now works fine but, in my opinion, its strong point remains the automatic clipboard detection.
ClipGrab installer for Windows contain third-party offers by installCore, but on the website is also available a portable version without third-party offers.
It's simply perfect in function and design.
All i need to download from Youtube or any other video streaming service
Unfortunately I couldn't install it on Ubuntu and no documentation was provided on the website.
Edit: Haven't used the app since April 2018, so this review may not reflect the abilities of a new app version.

You should be able to, I installed it about a month ago. i would recommend youtube-dl though if you are comfortable in command line, it is faster and works it better. ClipGrab is a used to be,
