    I don’t understand why people recommend duckduckgo. Its not open source, still includes ads (sure they’re no as invasive), they’re a for profit company who will do who knows what with our data when the investors want to increase their profits, and the search results aren’t very good causing people to use the !g google shortcut anyways.

    If anything people should recommend a searx instance that uses google and other engines so you still get the good search results and dont feed google your data

    Google is unusable now. Google images is the worst.

    Not being able to open image in new tab and download them anymore has made it functionally useless for me.

    That's due to a lawsuit for copyrights... Google settled and made so users couldn't download the image from the Google app, they need to visit the site

    Been looking for this word, it's so perfectly succinct and evocative of the Web 3.0 sludgeworld.

    Search engines are almost entirely useless now. As much as I'd love an indie alternative, sending out millions of webcrawlers seems prohibitively expensive.

    I love how Google's original intent of simply cataloging the net has now turned them into a net nanny whose job it is to prohibit vile copyright scofflaws from infesting others with their demented thinking.

    Home of Christine and the Queens, Manu Chao, Justice, Metronomy, Parcels, Ed Banger Records…

    This french copyright troll doesn't hold any rights on YouTube (the website) so the DMCA removal request is invalid

    No content hosted on newpipe.net is owned by that copyright troll, nor there are instructions or links to pirate that exact content so I don't understand how it it can be considered valid. I should be rejected, together with all the subsequent requests

    Because it's a YouTube clone android app that removes most ads. So sounds like googly is just using the take down request as an excuse to get try and get ride of the app.

    Wow, this is such shit. The request itself is so overly broad, it's a shame that google chose (or was forced) to honor it. I see the following listed in the request:

    10. addons.mozilla.org
    15. www.microsoft.com
    16. play.google.com
    40. en.wikipedia.org
    45. chrome.google.com
    58. www.trustpilot
    64. soundcloud.com
    65. www.facebook.com

    I'm a YouTube Premium subscriber that uses NewPipe. If they kill it I'll be unsubbing.

    Top result on Google is newpipe.net for me. Perhaps NewPipe has already submitted a counter notice and it has been restored? That's how the DMCA is supposed to work.

    Kind of surprised that Google didn't already remove it considering it is an application that circumvents it's own products But you know, it was bound to happen eventually

  • Definitely think this has been corrected because a search for "NewPipe" in an incognito window yields NewPipe.net as the first result with the Github, reddit, and F-Droid pages following.

    I saw a Louis Rossmann video on this. Honestly, corporations don't even have to hide their intentions anymore. It's really sad that they can do shit plain in sight for everyone to see, but blind only to the legal system.

    How's newpipe compared to sometime like revanced? Anyone given both a go?

    NewPipe doesn't support google login like revanced, so you have to import into the app your subscriptions. It has fewer features than revanced too, but I think the app is more optimized and has a cleaner UI. I still prefer revanced, but it's definitely worth it to try it out.

    Google search is dead for me, i have been using duck duck go for about 5 years now. If I'm searching for newpipe, I expect to get newpipe as a result. If I dont its utter wank at indenxing the internet.
