Selected

Prefer upstream unless you specifically need an old frozen snapshot. This fork adds no visible capabilities and is far behind active upstream maintenance, so it is a poor choice for day-to-day use.

Pick this fork only if Pornhub support is the priority and you are comfortable inheriting a very stale codebase. For general use, upstream is the better default because this fork is far behind and appears to add only a narrow extractor fix.

Choose this fork only if Bilibili support is the main requirement. For general use, upstream is safer because it is much more active and includes newer bug fixes and extractor updates.

Prefer upstream unless you specifically want a dormant, near-identical fork; this fork does not show meaningful added capability and is materially behind current upstream maintenance.

Do not adopt this fork for general use. It looks like an essentially abandoned snapshot of upstream with no meaningful added capability and substantial maintenance lag.

Prefer upstream for almost any new use. Choose this fork only if you specifically need the Bilibili VIP bangumi fix and are willing to accept a very stale codebase.

Prefer upstream unless you specifically need an older frozen snapshot. This fork adds no visible capabilities and is materially behind current upstream maintenance.

Prefer upstream unless you explicitly need a frozen 2018 baseline; this fork offers no added features and is too stale for normal adoption.

Prefer upstream unless you specifically need this YouTube playlist fallback behavior and are willing to accept a stale fork with substantial missing downstream maintenance.
