Information can be collected server side and track you across browser windows. Nowadays if I want a little more peace of mind I may open a link on a different browser's Incognito mode since I think that could add a little bit more indirection to confuse some in-browser tracking. I don't trust Google itself to keep things clean.
I have 4 browsers installed I can use: Chrome, Brave, Opera and Edge. Brave includes the Tor protocol that can be useful when accessing sites that have region restrictions or that have content controlled by IP or somesuch. Tor adds an indirection through someone else's IP. But I think Tor is mostly useful for static content, so video wouldn't be the priority in terms of performance.
If you want to be coy you could perhaps try to install a VPN on a browser you seldom use and use that for some of your sensitive connections.
