Dear NewPipe community and other beloved creatures, You might have already noticed this: Searching “NewPipe” via Google will yield plenty information about the project, but a link to the official website is missing. This is because Google submitted to a DMCA takedown notice from a French record label, “Because Music”. The notice demands removing our homepage newpipe.net from their search listings along with a set of other domains completely unrelated to our project. The DMCA takedown notice was published in the Lumen database by Google themselves. While worse things could have happened as the result of such a takedown request, Google’s unlisting of our homepage creates a variety of problems. Given the fact that Google no longer counts visits to our site, it will lose relevance. As a result, websites for fake clones of NewPipe that mimic our homepage will tend to rank higher in the results. This could ultimately cause users to fall for such scams. The team is currently discussing what to do about the situation. We are considering taking legal action. If you are a lawyer and have experience with this and would like to help us, please contact us via email (team(at)newpipe.net). Regards, Schabi

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

      Firefox is still out there, and great! You don’t have to be beholden to chrome’s bullshit.

      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

        Ok, but if I open the site and it’s one of those automatically generated shit and the image is nowhere to be found…

        And then the site doesn’t even have that image and a lot of websites are starting to do it on purpose. Therefore, the search has failed.

        It’s over, google images is a bad product.

          Aah ok. Different target audience :)

          On the plus side, now you have a reason to get an 8k monitor!

        Yeah but you lose a ton of image resolution. The google preview isn’t even close to full size in most cases.
