Troubleshooting technical issues is much easier when both the user and support agent practice clear communication. For this reason, we have provided the template below for you to fill out with information about your issue. Please provide as much detail as possible so we can most efficiently resolve your problem.

Description of the issue:

In YouTube, when I’m “scrubbing” (dragging the little indicator to fast-forward through vid) I keep being asked “Add to Brave playlist?”

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Go to YouTube.com
  2. Play vid
  3. Grab and drag little red ball to fast-forward
  4. You’re interrupted with “Add to Brave playlist?”

Expected result:
Until this week, I fast-forwarded successfully through vids.

Brave Version( check About Brave):
1.25

Mobile Device details
iPad 10” (7th gen)

Additional Information:
I do this daily. It worked great until this week. Not even sure what the Brave playlist is, so no, I don’t wanna add to it.

(I watch tutorial videos and don’t need to see the whole things, but rather just the highlights, hence my dragging to fast-forward so often.)

Good luck, folks!

This is happening to me too and it’s driving me nuts. I’m using safari now and it’s the last thing I want to be doing :frowning:

@BinkyMelnik,
Thank you for reporting – thank you as well @AmandaLee; I’ve responded to your post as well. What I believe is happening is the browser is detecting the “tap and drag” action as a “tap and hold” on the player (because technically it is) – which is one way to add a video to Playlist.

I’m forwarding this information to the team for review and see if we can get this fixed asap.

After some digging this issue appears to have been reported and also received a fix, targeted for the iOS browser update to version 1.26x:

I’d just like to point out that the bug report details how dragging to 00:00 causes the bug (feature) to occur, but in my instance, I’m dragging forward, not backward, as I speed through vids trying to get past the parts I don’t need. In other words, any dragging causes the pop-up.

I hope that when the bug was addressed, it was fixed for forward dragging, too.

At any rate, I’m delighted to hear this has been addressed, and I look forward to being able to easily scrub without having to keep dismissing the “add…” dialog. Thanks for your help, @AmandaLee and @Mattches! I’m happy about this good news!

@BinkyMelnik,
Yes I was sure to inform them that the direction in which one drags is not relevant – the fix put in place should take care of the issue entirely. Additionally, while misleading, the option to enable/disable the Add to playlist prompt in Settings --> Playlist refers to the popup that appears at the bottom of videos automatically – not the pop up that appears during a long press.

The devs realized this as well and have included an additional option in Settings that allows users to disable the long press prompt as well, should they desire.
