When I try to watch any video on YouTube it fails.

Exact URL of the website in question:

Palihapitiya's MASSIVE Bet On This ONE Stock ("The Next Tesla Of Its Space")

Get the error for any video link I select. Can get to YouTube.com, just can’t watch any videos.

Did the issue present with default Shields settings? (yes/no)

Does the site function as expected when Shields are turned off?
No

Is there a specific Shields configuration that causes the site to break? If so, tell us that configuration. (yes/no):

Does the site work as expected when using Chrome?
Yes, site works when I use google chrome

Brave version (check About Brave):

Version 1.19.86 Chromium: 88.0.4324.96 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I wonder if you checked your extensions? Youtube and its vids work for me… Could be platform specific as I run a mac, but youtube vids worked for me on my window puter at work…

@embracesuccess,
can you please be more specific? You say that you get an error when trying to watch any video – what error are you getting (feel free to take a screen shot of it if necessary)? What Operating System are you using? If you open a private window and go to Youtube.com and try to stream content, do you get the same issue?

I can’t subscribe to any channels when I’m using Brave. I can using FireFox though?

@mysweetspot,
Try clearing cache/browsing data for Youtube.com (click the lock icon in the address bar, then Site settings --> Clear data) and see if you are able to subscribe to channels.
