YouTube no thanks help

Using duck duck go and Firefox, before being asked
Having spent far to long looking, ls there anyway to stop YouTube videos coming up when I search for a video as in select video as opposed to search all . Or even better not show anything connected to it.
Next question I guess that will come in is why.
1. . mostly I have problems downloading them.
2. Have got most from other sources.
3. It take ages just to scroll through them
I've read this twice makes sense to me, bet it doesn't to others:

Re: YouTube no thanks help

You have to pay to download Youtube videos (unless you have a special app).

Your search parameters can be tailored to exactly what you want to find.

Re: YouTube no thanks help

Short answer, no.

You can exclude sites by adding "-site:example.com" to your query, but you'd have to do that everytime.

There may also be Firefox extensions that can do this, but I dont know of any, or how good they would be.

Re: YouTube no thanks help

Just for reference. This can be done . Not sure anyone would want to to do though. Yandex allowed you to deselect any site you do not want to look at. Just need to find another one now

Re: YouTube no thanks help

That maybe true, but my answer refers to what you originally asked (i.e. Duck Go Go) not Yandex.
