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

        There is an extension for that, available on Firefox and Chrome. I couldn’t use image search without it, to be honest.

        You suck, Getty Images.

        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

          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.

        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.

        neither have I, but it’s who is listed on their website and perhaps who they’re worried about people downloading via newpipe?

          If download is what they’re worried about, they should also have a look at yt-dlp then. Something that Google themselves have tried blocking before, but gave in because a lot of folks had pretty genuine use cases for yt-dlp

    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.

        Google can 100% just send a request by themselves, they don’t need to rely on third party copyright trolls

          True but this way Google still look like the good guy while throwing the french company that posted the DMCA under the bus as the reason for the delisting. Just my observation but could be completely wrong.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

      If the DMCA was sent by YouTube, ok. But in this case it has been sent by a french copyright troll that has nothing to do with YouTube

        Interest rates? Reddit/Twitter/YouTube can’t just exist perpetually being unprofitable now, they have to actually have a pathway to revenue, since Venture Capitalists won’t just throw money at a hundred different projects, hoping one is successful…

          It’s funny how every company’s goto to make more money is becoming an asshole.

          Should we fix our algorithm, filter out the Nazis, stop malicious ads, and make premium a reasonable price? 🤔 No, let’s go crack down on newpipe and adblockers instead!

      With the newpipe sponsorblock fork, it’s perfect. Simple and very functional. Supports more than just youtube too.

      NewPipe is better for playing a playlist in the background, ReVanced is better for active watching and browsing

      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.
