If it’s actually open source licensed unlike grayjay then it’s already a step in the right direction

How does this stand up to GrayJay with multiple devices connected sync and cross platform use?

I don’t use Grayjay myself, but I tried it a long time ago, so this what I recall.
Grayjay uses a web scraper to feed the stream into its own video player, which lets them add features such as timestamp, SponsorBlock, and background playback.
Youlag is less sophisticated as it’s solely a client‑side approach that embeds the official YouTube player. If you however add your own Invidious instance via the Youlag settings, you can play it through Invidious instead.
With Youlag in FreshRSS, everything runs in the browser, so there’s no device syncing needed. That also means it even works on iOS devices, and essentially anything that can run a modern browser.
