Because of this, when I'm sent video links to watch I will open them up in a Private Window / Incognito so I do not pollute my account.

- boogies 6y agoI never use non-private windows, so I use Invidious or mpv for this. I put control + alt + m notify-send "mpv loading $(xclip -o)"; mpv --player-operation-mode=pseudo-gui "$(xclip -o)" || notify-send 'mpv error' in my ~/.config/sxhd/sxhkdrc to conveniently play any youtube-dl supported url I’ve copied or highlighted.
- dankerr 6y agoThank you for this tip, just added it to my sxhkdrc.
- MaxBarraclough 6y agoThe main Invidious site just shut down, although various alternative Invidious sites still exist.
- foofoo4u 6y agoI set my browser to block all cookies. Has the same effect as private window mode. That way I can still browse youtube without having to open a new window. Yea, it sucks that I can no longer sign in, but at least the recommendations are better.
