Account Switcher > Turn on Incognito. (Not the chrome incognito, but YouTube incognito)





IIRC i stopped using this because it takes way too long to toggle on/off and another crucial mistake they make is that YouTube acts like its chrome incognito where you want full privacy and an anonymous browsing experience, I do not want that, I still want to be able to see my own history like my last few search bar queries, I just dont want NEW entries added when in incognito mode. essentially i want read only mode

You can easily and quickly turn off watch on mobile. Don't remember if it's a hassle in the browser.

IME this turns off the premium benefits, stupidly

Oh that's weird
