HDR option not available in Youtube

Description of the issue:

Unfortunately, Brave under Linux Fedora 42 does not offer the option to watch a video on YouTube in HDR despite the HDR mode being activated. However, the option does exist under Brave in Windows for the same video.

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Open HDR video on youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3APNJYMrLo
  2. Select the “Settings” → “Quality” menue
  3. No HDR Option under Linux available

Expected result:

The option is also available under Linux and Brave therefore supports HDR.

Brave Version( check About Brave):

Version 1.77.101 Chromium: 135.0.7049.115 (Official Build) (64-bit)
