   Whoa, does YouTube actually honor some do-not-track setting now? Non-logged-in, I get a completley blank page, no recommended videos, with a prompt to search. Or is this just some UBO filter I have enabled?

     @dalias Yeah, I get that too in a private window until I search for or watch something. Rather pleasant, actually! But of course once you watch one video you start getting suggestions again, so I don't think it's honoring any do-not-track, just not making tracking assumptions based only on info they can get in a private window and not giving generic recommendations.

     @unlambda This isn't private window. I'm just (very intentionally) not logged into any Google accounts except in container tabs for specific non-main-personal purposes. It's wonderful not being logged in to Google.
