21. I use Duck Duck Go which typically plays YT videos on a separate browser page so that Google doesn't gather any info.

Recently though, more and more I get a message that YT will now allow this or that video to be played outside of their webpage. I then typically have to go to the YT page to view the video...I don't have to sign in. I think this may be caused by a setting on the video page that allows or disallows embedding of the video. the only time I'm forced to log in is when the video is age restricted for content, then I bail as I typically never sign in to Google.
