Google basic search was fine without js last time I used it, but I choose not to use it. Instead I use a range of smaller search engines. Youtube is unusable (I mean even on a normie browser) - it's a crazy mass of popups, frames, ever shifting css, things that jump around when you hover over... like a 90's Geocities site. What I do is use duckduckgo (through the hidden service) to look for videos I want (it indexes all of them fine, but crafting the search terms is challenging), then just grab them using youtube-dl. Increasingly though, search hits for lectures or talks I am looking for come up on sites other than youtube, and given the choice I'll download from the non-google one. Youtube-dl works with a surprising range of sites.
