Everyone has that one YouTube link you wish you\u2019d never clicked on. Not because of the content, but because it changed the suggested videos YouTube served to you after.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s an easy way to prevent this annoyance. Just open the link in an incognito browsing window.<\/p>\n

You won\u2019t be logged into your account within a private window\u2014it\u2019s a blank slate. What you do in the incognito window won\u2019t affect your normal browser windows and tabs, either, so when you close the window, it\u2019ll be as if you never accessed those sites. (From the perspective of your browser, anyway. Your internet provider can still see what you\u2019ve visited unless you use a VPN<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

For Chrome, the fastest way to open a link in an incognito window is by right-clicking on the link, then hitting g<\/code> on your keyboard or selecting \u201cOpen link in incognito window.\u201d For Edge, Firefox, and Brave, right-click and hit p<\/code> on your keyboard. If your browser doesn\u2019t offer keyboard shortcuts in the right-click context menu, select and click on \u201cOpen link in private window.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Chrome, you can open a link in an incognito by right-clicking the link, then hitting \u201cg\u201d on your keyboard. Or just select \u201cOpen link in incognito window.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nAs for general browsing (e.g., you\u2019re not clicking on someone else\u2019s link but you\u2019re hunting for content on your own), you can use Ctrl + Shift + N<\/code> (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, and other Chromium browsers) or Ctrl + Shift + P<\/code> (Firefox) to quickly open a new incognito or private window. Alternatively, you can right-click on your browser\u2019s logo in the Windows taskbar and select the option to open a private window. As a reminder, your history won\u2019t save. If you need to later refer to your research, you must manually save the links, or use a secondary profile or account.<\/p>\n
This method may sound unnecessarily complicated, but once it becomes habit, you\u2019ll spend less effort than continually going into your YouTube history and deleting irrelevant videos from your history. It also works well for other platforms or websites where manual curation isn\u2019t available (like looking at apartment listings on real estate sites), where retraining the algorithm takes time and work.<\/p>\nLooking for more browsing tips?
