I just updated brave.
My phone settings is orientation locked.
When I click the full screen YouTube video, it used to fill the display horizontally. Which is awesome!!! Been like this forever.
But now, it will not. It’ll go full screen but stay vertical.
Why this change???
Please fix please 
Same happens to me. Not only in Brave but other browser too, but it work fine in youtube app.
Same!!
I thought I was the only one experiencing this “bug”. I Don’t know why they changed it but you have to now manually turn auto rotate on if you want it to lie horizontally which seems like a minor thing but it’s super annoying 
Please change it back!
Same problem. Please return it to how it used to be!
This seems to be an Android Chrome/Brave issue. There are a couple of threads here and on Reddit with people seeing the issue. I see this issue on Chrome and Brave, but not on Firefox. This doesn’t fix the issue, but it seems that it is a deeper issue with the browser rendering engine or youtube acting up.
I have the same problem, I reinstalled the APP and the “problem” continued.
I uninstalled Brave and downloaded an old version (1.60.110) of Brave and the problem continued. I believe this is nothing related to Brave itself, it could be a Google/YouTube block.
Temporary Solution: My temporary solution is to use Firefox. The positive point of Firefox on Android is the possibility of installing Extensions on Android.
Below are the extensions I’m using.
One positive point is that this Page Translation extension is functional, something that Brave’s default Translator never did.
Yeah. I run several browsers on a tablet to do some web testing. I run Brave as my main browser on my Phone and Desktop.

Hello,
Same issue here with 1.65.77 chromium 123.0.6312.29.
Tried with Firefox and no issue, and just to be clear, I really don’t like Firefox.
I am also facing same issue after updating brave browser on my mobile oneplus 7 Pro Android. When I try to maximize YouTube inside brave browser it maximizes but it will not cover whole screen instead video will be displayed vertically. I have to flip the mobile to get screen rotate icon at the bottom right of the screen then flip the screen and then maximize the video. This is really tiresome. Either rivert the settings as per previous versions or keep the rotate icon always on at the bottom right of the screen
This is also happening on my phone and it’s cumbersome and irritating.
