    A quick note, YouTube started adding tracking into the URLs that are connected to ur account, if you want to remove these just remove the question mark and everything after it, then you have a clean URL

    Idk if you will call me a nerd, but I thought it might be interesting

      Huh… I didn't even realize I had signed in on youtube in this browser which is a bit weird too. Thanks for the heads up. Didn't even notice.

        Yeah, it just fingerprints the user no matter what, that's why the recommendation algorithm is still active when not logged in
