Re: [GNU-linux-libre] youtube-dl might be running non-free software from webpages

Personally, I vote for considering youtube-dl as not a web browser (that
is: I vote for option (b)). My reasons for this is that, with a web
browser, I can visit *any* web page. While in the case of youtube-dl, it
serves an specific purpose, that is to download videos from some video
sharing web sites, but if I visit any other web site other than the ones
supported, it gives me an error.
