yt-dlp can fetch cookies from your browser, so no, it won't break it. If YouTube really did want to stop yt-dlp, they'd encrypt all the videos with Widevine.

- echelon_musk 1y ago> yt-dlp can fetch cookies from your browser, so no, it won't break it. It probably breaks anonymous access to videos (when not signed in to a Google account). Unless yt-dlp provide shared cookies that its thousands of users can use there will still be account level tracking of video access.
