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…
- 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?
  
  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
  
  Christine and the Queens is amazing tho.
- Is it finally time to switch to DuckDuckGo?
  
  Newpipe is still on Google for me, but I recommend DDG anyway because of its bangs support.
  
  IKR! The bangs feature is so frickin awesome! Idk if Brave Search has that, because I'm interested in using Brave, but I'm addicted to banging my way across the internet.
