its much bigger, size wise. Youtube-dl also works perfectly from the command line.

I like JDownloader, but it comes with adware and other things in its installer.

Run it on docker, I use jlesage/jdownloader-2

How does the problem of running some untrustworthy code get better by adding even more binaries?

Is the goal just to use the kernel's process isolation features that you can access with `unshare`?

Or do you mean to just bypass the installation step (because that purportedly contains adware)?
