Even when using a distraction-free wrapper or PWA like NoSuggest, the app embeds YouTube's official iFrame player, which connects your browser directly to YouTube's servers to stream video. Because of this direct connection, YouTube can still log your public IP address (revealing your approximate location and network), gather device fingerprint data (such as your browser version, OS, screen specs, and GPU), and read session storage or cookies. This means YouTube can still track video playback telemetry on a network and hardware level unless you actively route your connection through a VPN.
