Description of the issue:
A custom HTML5 video player is blocked on IOS Brave. The site does not function as expected even when Shields are turned off, as the video player section is still blank. In Brave, when loading into the website, the thumbnail of the video appears for a split second then instantly disappears. When going into the website’s HTML code, and finding the supposed embedded video link and loading it into a new tab (e.g with IP redacted: https://dash-s2-n10-fr-cdn.eporner.com/hls/11419794-,240p,360p,480p,720p,.mp4.urlset/master.m3u8?hash=Qk6lrHP4QLt-B5X7adRutA&expires=1724085541&ip=redacted), the video plays. (this is link is not able to be opened on Windows Version of browser, only in the IOS one.) Issue must be with Brave automatically hiding the video player element or not being able to simply support it. Please advise fix.
