I don't see the value in using an extension just to automatically watch YouTube in HD. Maybe 10 years ago, but now we got Newpipe.

Also Google Search has gone downhill for quite some time now. Why should I install an extension that reverts the enshittification Google has deliberately created?

DDG, Qwant, searXNG maybe even Brave or Kagi are better options. If you like Google Search so much, at least use Startpage.

@minimalfootprint @AnActOfCreation is #newpipe available as a #firefox desktop extension?

[-] minimalfootprint@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 8 months ago

No, it's an android app.

I don't like to install an app for every service or product, but newpipe adds so much value, that it's a no-brainer for me.

I actually use both Grayjay (for subscriptions across platforms) and NewPipe (one-off videos). They're both great.
