Umm, what is it you’re referencing?

I know on Android there is a Media section. On this it has:

  • Widevine DRM = This is on Desktop at Settings → Extensions

  • Background Play = This happens by default in Desktop

  • Open YouTube links in Brave = Default in Desktop because there’s no “YouTube App” or anything that would be preferred. Not to mention any preference on what a link would open is kind of controlled by your OS

  • Block Recommended Content, Block YouTube Distracting elements, and Block YouTube Shorts are all filters in Shields. - brave://settings/shields/filters
