> It's fine for this project since google is probably not in the business of triggering exploits in yt-dlp

yt-dlp supports a huge list of websites other than youtube



But YouTube is the only one that yt-dlp uses Deno for. No other website on yt-dlp's list has put up enough of a fight to merit an external JS runtime; only YouTube.

From the September announcement:

> The JavaScript runtime requirement will only apply to downloading from YouTube. yt-dlp can still be used without it on the other ~thousand sites it supports


I assumed they only use this setup for youtube, that might be wrong


Is there a full list? I struggled to find one



Thanks!


There's a supportedsites.md file in the base directory of the git repo.


Thanks!
