The only issue I have with YouTube is that while using an Ad blocker it doesn't track videos I have already seen in my subscriptions.
So it will tell me that I didn't watch a video I just watched.
A small price to pay for an ad free experience but a bit annoying still.
Don't worry, my youtube does manage to track my watch history, and yet it will still recommend me a video I've just seen anyway!
If your history isn't working, it's probably because you're blocking s.youtube.com. If you whitelist that, history should work again.
Works fine for me with Ublock Origin.
Interesting. I got to have a peculiar list activated in Ublock that breaks tracking of watched videos.
Thanks for the feedback.
