    No, but as a result of behaving like the official client it is more robust than yt-dlp or Freetube when Google does crackdowns on third party clients. It’s a tradeoff of privacy v robustness, but it still has no ads and sponsorblock. It’s a way more acceptable option for normies and works well on GoogleTV (which is going to be spying on what you’re watching and phoning that home to Google anyway).
