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

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

        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 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

          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
