Checklist

  • This feature I'm requesting is already implemented in yt-dlp.
  • This feature is merely a UI/UX update.
  • This feature is available for most websites, not only the video platform I use.
  • This feature is suitable for a large variety of videos.
  • This feature is not going to conflict with many of the existing options.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Going through the embedded browser for generating cookies can be tedious.

Describe the solution you'd like

(edited for clarification)
As I can already export a cookies.txt file in Netscape format from my browser,
it would be good to be able to use it in the app via "importing it" in the "cookies" section,
since editing the cookies.txt files manually requires root privileges in the android app data folder,
and creating a custom yt-dlp command defeats the purpose for the majority of the UI/UX this app offers.
