Use Firefox multi-account containers and the temporary containers add-on. Now your YouTube starts fresh with every new tab. It's actually nice, it means you get to build a new set of recommendations each time you open a tab, and because YT doesn't have that much data on you yet, the recommendations are directly linked to the thing you're currently watching, similar to how it used to be before the whole tracking extravaganza.

Or use different folders of portable Chromium so you have any semblance of sandboxing + security.

Temporary Containers is a pretty amazing sandbox already, as it uses a builtin Firefox feature.

You can just have multiple profiles on chrome. One logged in and one logged out.

How Chrome and Chrome-based browsers work with profiles, and push the user to log in, I have a feeling they never fully log out and there's some kind of a supercookie hanging around. Trust issue.

More or less. Sadly, they still suggest a ton of stuff based on geolocation.
