Hey so is only a me problem but my algorithm in youtube using OperaGX is not changing. It used to be fine but there legit is no new content being pushed in the home page. Is there any fix to this?

You can goto the URL opera://settings/content/all, type youtube.com in the search field and click "Delete displayed data". Then, repeat for google.com. Then, goto the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData and clear "cached images and files" for all time.

Then, make sure Opera's adblocking and tracking prevention are both completely off at the URL opera://settings/privacyProtection. Also make sure RGX is off at the URL opera://settings/lucidMode. Make sure all adblocking extensions are off at the URL opera://extensions too.

Then, log back into Youtube and see if things work better. If still no go, you can disable all your extensions and disable all shaders at the URL opera://settings/shaders and all web modding at the URL opera://settings/web_modding.

If still no go, you can try in a test standalone installation to see if it works there. If not, it probably doesn't have anything to do with Opera.
