One less reason to use Google for search.
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.
Yeah same, it’s so hard to open or download a pic now, I actually opened bing earlier out of frustration D’:
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.
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.
Yeah I’m only thinking of on screen stuff, not print etc.
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.
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.
I’m a YouTube Premium subscriber that uses NewPipe. If they kill it I’ll be unsubbing.
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
Took longer than I thought.
Yeah, Google has been weirdly tolerant of NewPipe and other YT-scraping apps for a while. I wonder what changed.
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…
How’s newpipe compared to sometime like revanced? Anyone given both a go?
With the newpipe sponsorblock fork, it’s perfect. Simple and very functional. Supports more than just youtube too.
I like NewPipe, but honestly I prefer LibreTube + [Piped](https://piped video/).
NewPipe is better for playing a playlist in the background, ReVanced is better for active watching and browsing
I prefer revanced but newpipe is my backup
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.
Depends on if you’re looking for something like the official app or not.
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.
That could have been the prob before. Well I’m back on with all my subscriptions. YouTube is bearable!
Don’t forget that NewPipe × SponsorBlock is a fork that adds SponsorBlock. Also there’s ReVanced to make YouTube bearable while still having access to your curated feed.
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.
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.comDefinitely 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.
https://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…
