yth does not work as expected (Safari on macOS)

[BreiteSeite]

Describe the bug
YouTube handles loading the history page with a query not correctly (at least in Safari on macOS) since over a year (i also faced this with duckduckgo).

To Reproduce
!yth query -> (flashes) https://www.youtube.com/feed/history?query=query -> ignores query and redirects to https://www.youtube.com/feed/history

!yth -> https://www.youtube.com/feed/history?query= -> redirects to https://www.youtube.com

Expected behavior
As YouTube does not handle loading the page with a query parameter correctly, i propose removing the query altogether, so at least !yth behaves correctly instead of redirecting to the YouTube homepage.

If i load https://www.youtube.com/feed/history it reliably loads the Watch history page. So removing ?query= from the bang would increase reliability of this bang.

Additional context
Safari 17.4.1 @ macOS 14.4.1 (but as i said, i have this issue since "forever" (at least 1-2 years).

Okay that's weird, looking into this, the bang works on mobile (Safari on iOS), but doesn't on desktop (Firefox on Linux or Safari on MacOS in your case).

Also for me on Firefox/Linux, https://www.youtube.com/feed/history?query= redirects to https://www.youtube.com/feed/history. I can test on some more machines soon though.

With a query i can confirm it loads the watch history and performs a search.
Without a query it redirects me to the homepage.

I assume this is some bug in YouTube (probably Angular) in handling that state correctly when initializing the frontend application. So i'm wondering if it ultimately makes sense to report this upstream to them (haven't looked into where this report would be best put yet though).
