Concern Regarding YouTube Access on Brave Browser

I have been a loyal user of Brave Browser and truly appreciate its features and privacy-focused approach. However, I (along with many others I know) am now being forced to switch to a different browser because YouTube is no longer usable on Brave.

This issue is impacting many users, and I hope you will take it into consideration and find a solution soon. I would love to continue using Brave as my primary browser, but seamless access to essential platforms like YouTube is crucial.

“YouTube is no longer usable on Brave” = it does not work

Brave Support will need a more detailed description. Screenshots will help.
