Limit YouTube cross-device tracking?

I miss the olden days when staying logged out of your account meant your recommendations weren't cluttered up by every post you read, video you watched or search you did across every device.

Any way to curb this?

I'm using https://libredirect.github.io/ so whenever I click a YouTube link it opens it on some Invidious instance

That's great except they're always down

For YouTube? Not for me, and if some instance is down I just click "Remove + Autopick" on the addon and it redirects to other instance... if all instances are down, I can choose other 12 frontends to use from the addon menu (but I never did, I have only used Invidious so far)

i just use temporary containers on firefox so my cookies are always empty, i'm sure they still track me internally but youtube suggestions seem unaffected by my usage history
