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.
Google is unusable now. Google images is the worst.
The enshittification is complete.
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.
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
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.
Ok, but if I open the site and it’s one of those automatically generated shit and the image is nowhere to be found…
Snipping tool FTW.
Snipping tool for a high res jpg, a svg or a png? good luck with that.
Seriously people stop using google. I want to live in a world where you have to use searx to find google.
I switched to duckduckgo a while back when I got tired of Google being a shitty search engine.
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.
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.
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.comhttps://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=newpipe -> top result is newpipe.net
The takedown request on google.com was submitted by Because Music : Home of Christine and the Queens, Manu Chao, Justice, Metronomy, Parcels, Ed Banger Records…
I thought Newpipe stopped working a long time ago. I could never get it to work. Time to give it another try. If it wasn’t for Google blocking the site, I would have forgotten about Newpipe :-D
Works fine, but I often have to go to the website to get the latest update. F-Droid takes a while to catch up.
Should be near instant if you add newpipe’s F-Droid repo instead of waiting for it to hit F-Droid’s main repo. Been a bit since the last release though.
Hey thanks for that! I’ve added the url and when I search for newpipe I get newpipe and legacy, but how do I know which repo fdroid is pulling these from? I don’t see anything in the interface that tells me it’s the right one. It says last updated 3 months ago for newpipe, does that sound right?
Yeah. It’s been a bit since the last update, but when they start doing rapid updates to fix something you’ll know you got the right one.
