Link: Gemini's YouTube Extension Streamlines Marketing

Native YouTube search is highly personalized by viewing history and subscriptions. To see non-personalized results, searchers must log out or use a browser’s privacy (“Incognito”) mode. Even then, the results differ among users. Moreover, exporting search results from YouTube is burdensome, requiring copying each video’s URL without the parameters. Gemini’s extension produces the top five search results without personalization. Users can watch any video inside Gemini without impacting their viewing history on YouTube. #
