First video in Youtube results starts to play unwantingly

[duderino]

Since v1.73.104 was released for Android, I encounter the following problem when using Youtube in Brave mobile: the first video on a Youtube search results page starts to play automatically and with sound, which is annoying, because you end up with a loud video playing without having asked for it.

To reproduce:

• In Brave for mobile, go to youtube.com
• Search for anything
• The video at the top of results will start playing automatically and with sound if you have the same problem as me.

I searched the community before posting, but I don’t think any of the other topics is about Youtube search results page.

Also, this behavior started a week ago with the latest release, so I assumed it was a new issue.

Sorry if it isn’t.

Thanks
The problem didn’t occur anymore yesterday, so I guess it was more a problem on the Youtube side.
I deleted the cookies just in case.
In Brave, it’s in Settings->Privacy and security->Delete browsing data
