One less reason to use Google for search.
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
DDG let’s Microsoft through the cracks.
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
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.
Yeah but you lose a ton of image resolution. The google preview isn’t even close to full size in most cases.
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.

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…
Home of Christine and the Queens, Manu Chao, Justice, Metronomy, Parcels, Ed Banger Records…
I’ve never heard of any of those artists…
neither have I, but it’s who is listed on their website and perhaps who they’re worried about people downloading via newpipe?
Newpipe is still on Google for me, but I recommend DDG anyway because of its bangs support.
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
