I've had my youtube watch history off for years. It still knows what I like.

Hence why I open a new private browser for each session.



Have you seen EFF’s Cover Your Tracks or other browser fingerprinting test sites?

I’m under the impression my use of private tabs & blockers & iCloud Private Relay is nearly useless when browsing sites of any sufficiently large company, and I won’t lie and say it’s not somewhat frustrating and disturbing.


It probably doesn't stop any tracking - that's true. It does reset my video feed though.


A success in that then! OK thanks for confirming I’m prob not _ludicrously_ paranoid :)
