RE: Udemy Free Course Grabber
Sorry about a long post, but I played with the tool and found that it will extract "New" courses the same way Udemy returns the result when manually sorted by "New". If you notice closely, you will see newest courses shown are actually not new at all. Unfortunately, about 6/7 months ago, udemy started practicing deception in it's sorting features. Udemy doesn't show the true Newest courses in time sorted order any more. You can check and find that most all courses on page 1, 2 etc. are quite old, and have been around free for a while. Out of desperate curiosity, many times I didn't stop and kept going page by page, and found newest course displayed way down the pages, like on page 45, 56 etc. in a very random manner. Udemy probably doesn't want to promote free courses too much like they did before, and so they have deployed a deceptive algorithm. I really checked this many times over the last few months, and I came to the above conclusion.
I salute BBHF contributors who still bring out many courses that are truly New and FLT. I don't know how they find them, but kudos to them. Sadly, still many free course are out of our reach, and we won't see them in search results, until they become paid.
Lastly, I have observed that Udemy has applied similar algorithm for paid courses too. This is truly bizarre, I haven't seen any other site manipulate searches so much to control users' access to the latest products. Udemy wants us to buy courses according to their preference, that's it.

Pity - this doesn't work on Mac :-(

Try using Parallels, VMware Fusion, VirtualBox or Bootcamp (remember you can virtualise bootcamp inside Parallels and VMware Fusion)
I was able to install a DIY bootcamp inside a Mojave Hackintosh(EFI for APFS partition and Legacy W10 install so W10 would not destroy EFI info), so with original Mac OS it should be even easier
