Here are my sources for youtube-dl not executing non-free JS, at least for YouTube videos.
https://github.com/fent/node-ytdl-core/issues/222 https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Youtube-dl > Is this also true for websites that require PhantomJS (e.g. Openload)? I think that depends on whether PhantomJS is used to execute JavaScript or only used to scrape URLs from the JS without executing it. The above links seem to indicate that executing JS is unnecessary for YouTube videos, but it is unclear to me whether or not this is true for non-YouTube videos.
