Seconded.

I was wondering if it was possible to be accountless on Youtube while logged in in Gmail, in the same browser, or if one needed to use two browsers.

It turns out, blocking all cookies for youtube.com and www.youtube.com does the trick!!

And it also solves the very annoying name change prompt that blocks every other video when logged in.

This is what I use porn mode (aka incognito mode) for.

Yes, but incognito mode doesn't set itself up automatically when clicking on a link in an email, for example, whereas with the cookie-blocking solution, it's always on.

I've switched back to manually select the websites that are allowed to use cookies. It's actually little effort and it feels good.
