Yet another slight from Duckduckgo, adding to the many they have done recently. I'm looking for a new search engine to be my daily driver. Any suggestions? Startpage? Brave?

I don't understand why youtube-dl is targeted so much in search results. YouTube keeps changing their scripts so that it has only worked about 1 week per month for the last 5 years. And that's when they push an update within a month. Sometimes it's as long as 90 days that the thing doesn't work.

I use it a couple times per week and it has worked 99% of the time for the last 5 years. Maybe you're doing something wrong.
