(this isnt a question about how to make invidious more secure/private i just want google to stop knowing everything i do and every device i have) I like watching youtube videos. I hate google. I try invidious. It's pretty cool.

I watch the videos I like on it. But I get suspicous. The channels I wacth even after I change my Ip, clear my cookies, change my tor circuts, even change my entire os to something real private like tails or qubes with whonix , ARE STILL RECOMMENDED TO ME. So I do a test. I watch channels I don't like. There it is. I feel like google is laughing in my face

Whats worse, I went on a different device and the same videos are there :(.

ive tried vpns, tor, tails, whonix in qubes, quad9, and nothing works. what do i do now?

(im not concerned about youtube synching reccomendations im concerned about google knowing what i like, and what devices i have no matter what tools i use)

dont want perfection just want it to be difficult for trackers. they have a lot and i dont like it.

the kind of privacy i want is when i clear my cookies or change my ip etc, the website should think im a different person not know its me even if i change the device im using

example of what im not looking for

user redacted looked at topic redacted and topic redacted 2 at redacted time and has fingerprint redacted (fingerprint blocking)

example of what i AM looking for

user A looked at topic A at time A and has fingerprint A. then i change my idenity. user B looked at topic B and time B and has fingerprint B (spoofing that actually works)

    I'm not as good as you so i can't give you better solutions, but, just so you know, you're still more private than a lot of people, me included, you dont have to feel bad, you did a lot of progress there
