I am so tired of being part of the YT algo. Is there a somewhat decent alternative to youtube? I already have Nebula but that doesn’t give me my news and show talking head fix

    Sure, it can start building it again just with what I search to watch. Then I get to close the browser again and wipe it clean again. I know that fingerprinting exists, but I’m not seeing its behavior for video suggestions. In fact, I do see tracking by IP because I’ll get suggested things I know my wife is looking at (and we’re coming from the same IP). Even those are few and far between though.

      I’ve thoroughly tested this and after a browser clear, I see literally zero recommendations that match my browsing habits. And this was tested without a vpn, so same IP. I’ve tested it on default chrome/edge. Also on tweaked firefox/librewolf, and on the YouTube app for LG webos. So yea, this is false. Idk why you’re seeing stuff your wife watches. Are you logged in with an account? If not then you’re not actually clearing the browser like you think you are.
