Twitch CEO Emmett Shear is resigning
FWIW there is a GitHub repo [0] which keeps track of currently-working ways to block Twich ads. If you don't need chat, ff2mpv [1] can be used to send streams directly to MPV by right clicking on them in the browser. This bypasses the entire proprietary Twitch frontend and displays a silent purple screen during ad breaks.

query regarding streaming YT with MPV
Unfortunately this won't work with the extension playwithmpv unless you modify the python server to launch a different command. I personally use ff2mpv and I modified the python code of the backend to make this change. If you are interested, this is what I changed on ff2mpv:
-
LPT: Open VLC and drag a youtube link to it. It'll play in VLC (with all the capabilities of VLC), and it'll skip ads.
There are also browser extensions that add a toolbar button and a link context menu option to automatically open videos from quite a number of popular sites in MPV. I'm using ff2mpv. It only took a minute to set up.
-
The config I wanted to share with everybody who is using different commands every time they are trying to download videos.
You can use a browser extension like ff2mpv to send the urls directly from your browser (so no need to type into the terminal). This works not only in youtube but in many sites as yt-dlp has support for multiple pages.

How can i stop YouTube on Firefox from using all my cpu on Arch
If Firefox still uses too much CPU, then I recommend ff2mpv -- It does require changing your habits a bit, like blocking autoplay and clicking ff2mpv to launch the video in mpv when you're ready to watch, but it is well worth it.

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.

YouTube-dl fork with additional features and fixes
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
A copyright holder abused the DMCA process to take it down the first time.

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
