Description of the issue:
The issue I am having is that when using hardware-acceleration, the video decoding is extremely unreliable… On youtube, the video will skip seconds of content and run in slow-motion randomly but consistently throughout the videos I watch.

Does the site work as expected when using Chrome?
Yes, with Chromium 98.0.4758.80, with hardware-acceleration on, it works as expected.

Fooughhy,

If you are willing to dig and troubleshoot, you might consider using Brave Browser Developer Tools >> Network

You can find that (Developer Tools >> Network) by using the Brave Browser Help menu and within its Search field, type “Developer Tools” (no quotes).

A lot of tips on how to use Developer Tools:

You can set the location for the Developer Tools window, including, detaching the window.

Using Developer Tools >> Network, takes practice.

You will no doubt discover differences (as in, what gets blocked) – between using Brave Browser and Google’s Chrome browser.
