[FEATURE] incognito and no engine mode #282

@ITSZXY

Description

@ITSZXY
one option to have the videos not save into history and the recommendation engine, and another button for not saving in the recommendation engine only

Problem Statement

let's say I wanna look up a recipe, but I don't like cooking content, so I turn on the "no engine" toggle and watch it, and I am also able to find it in my history

  • As a [type of user, e.g. music listener / power user / casual viewer],
    I want [the feature],
    so that [the benefit / what it enables].
