Quality options missing on youtube


Description of the issue: Everytime I open a new tab of youtube all the quality options from 1080p and above dissapear, when i change search engines and close and reopen it appears, but… Doing the same thing again openning a new tab and the problem is back.
How can this issue be reproduced?:

  1. Open new tab of youtube
  2. Select a video, see that it has only 720p as max quality
    3.Change search engine
  3. Close the browser, 1080p is back on that tab of youtube
  4. CTRL+T, open youtube 1080p is gone.

Expected result:To have every video quality avaliable.

Brave Version( check About Brave):1.69.160

@Husky,
Thanks for reaching out — that sure is a strange issue. I cannot seem to reproduce this issue.

First, can you please update to the latest build (v1.69.162) just to ensure that the latest build doesn’t fix the issue for us?

If not, can you confirm that changing the search engine specifically is what fixes the issue? For example, if you were to go somewhere else in Settings (literally anywhere) and change something, then return to the video, do you get the same results?

Additionally, if you encounter the issue, then simply close/relaunch the browser, do you get the same results?

@Mattches
Updating to latest doesn’t fix it but when I have a youtube tab that has 1080p avaliable it still works when going to homepage etc. But if I open a new tab it doesn’t have 720p.
Here’s another way to fix it without changing search engines and relaunching.
And also closing the browser and openning it again doesn’t fix it, only when changing search engines.
I don’t even know why this works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scCQJF9bc28
Update:

Closing the browser and relaunching it started fixing the issue but everytime I open a new tab 1080p option dissapears.
