That is such a useless and pervasive answer to something cool: why not use these alternatives. _Obviously_ the author/user of these scripts knows that the Internet has more than one thing for each kind, and obviously they chose to use the site they are using but in a different way.
None of the search engines are as good as Google (most of the time) and for video hosting sites it's about the content.
Imagine 20 years ago someone built a device that turns the volume down when ads come on, and the first reply to that is "but the channel I'm watching doesn't show ads". Well, good for you.
Sometimes the best solution to "I want to use this website differently" is to use it differently.

- ornornor 6y ago> None of the search engines are as good as Google (most of the time) Startpage (and ddg I think?) basically provide you googles search results without the tracking. They’re the same quality of results without your google created echo chamber (because google can’t profile your search habits when not using google directly for search) You’re still giving google money (indirectly) but st least you’re depriving it of your personal data.
