I know, after blocking this subdomain youtube watch history won’t be tracked (saved) even if user is turned on it in data and privacy section of google account setting.

So, doesn’t save watch history also mean youtube doesn’t count views of users who block this subdomain ?

    I watch without an account and they’re definitely tracking my watch history regardless of that

      Right, I don’t think you can turn off tracking without account although the solution in this case is as simple as watching in a private window in firefox (chrome’s icognito is not reliable)
