Google: implements an entire obfuscated VM with its own bytecode inside Javascript for their CAPTCHAs so that people cannot cheat it

YouTube-dl has a JavaScript interpreter written in 870 lines of Python
While they likely wouldn't do a zero-day, their JS files, particularly for automated captchas, do push the boundaries of whatever JS engine they're executed inside. See https://github.com/neuroradiology/InsideReCaptcha#the-analys... and note that this analysis is 8 years old. While there's minimal risk if you're either using a full-fledged modern JS engine or a limited-subset interpreter like the OP, an older or non-optimized spec-compliant JS engine might hit pathological performance cases and result in you DOSing yourself.

Get DCR onto a faucet by voting on this strawpoll for Autofaucet
So people voting for DCR are not allowed to protect their privacy with VPNs, must reveal their real IP address, and must allow proprietary, obfuscated, sophisticated Google reCAPTCHA to fingerprint the heck out of their devices.

YouTube-dl has been taken down
I see. According to the Web Archive, this website stopped working all the way in November 2023, and http://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/ now contains all the same content as the old one and is the new "official" website.

See elsewhere in the thread for details, but youtube-dl was restored by Github and is generally not considered to be in violation of the DMCA. You can see it on Github here: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl

Ask HN: What's the Situation with YouTube-Dl?
The best way is to download the source from github, run `make`, and copy the the file to $HOME/bin . There hasn't been a release for about a year now and the files on the distro repos are even older (I think).
Also YouTube has been doing some changes lately on the the player and a lot of the tools fail to download audio or video.
For example, in the last couple of weeks there have been some issues with a redirect to a 'consent page' : https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/32499
