Yet again the issue has cropped up for me. Is Brave ever going to fix this?

Version Brave 1.77.100, Chromium 135.0.7049.100

At least I fixed issue on Youtube. Once I play the video, I enter the setting cogwheel and turn on Ambient mode. It makes the video screen brighter and stay on until the end of the video.

The problem was solved for me with new update (Brave 1.77.97, Chromium 135.0.7049.84) Android 14, Build/ UTAS34.82-73-1

HOWEVER, now the scren WON’T TURN OFF, when a video on Youtube is finished (in fullscreen mode)

Update With new update today (Brave 1.77.100, Chromium 135.0.7049.100),
everything is working fine (the screen stays on until the video is finished and then it turns off after however you set it in Display options (Android menu).

And then.popup show that clos app or wait.

Just updated to 1.77.101 (on OxygenOS/Android 14) and so far it seems to be working correctly. Will update if not.

EDIT: Nope. Still broken. Seemed like it worked briefly.

Not sure why this browser can’t do what all other major browsers can, even chrome which uses much of the same code. Someone made a change that is driving people away from this browser, and nobody seems to know what that change is.

Yeah, but I am using Android 11 so what about this version?

I’m also having this issue after the update

this also happens to me on android 14, to solve i just open new tab and back to previous tab and it solved

I installed Brave precisely for its ability to stream YouTube in the background without ads, but for the last month or so it became unusable - both videos and streaming radio pause constantly, I have to refresh the tabs and then often look for the place where I left off. The problem does not appear in Chrome so it’s not my internet connection’s fault.

If you enable Experimental list in brave://adblock does that help? Also test in private window mode.
