What is/are your question(s)?

I'm currently using an utility to detect and blick trackers that are inside the apps. The said utility detected a tracker named "Google Doubleclick" inside "newpipe x sponsorblock". Is it normal ?

Do you get the same results when checking vanilla NewPipe? Last I recall reading, NewPipe sends spoof data to Google so there shouldn't be any actual real tracking going on.

If you see any tracking-related reports about NewPipe (or my fork), see this post on Reddit.

Well i tested it with pcapdroid the app doesn't make any connection to any analytics/ads server. It just makes contact to googlevideo, one thumbnail fetching site beginning with i.y••• and one for sponsorblock if enabled (depends on which api you use) will post pcap logs sometime later
