I have the same issue on a 2018 Mac Mini. Did everything @Aa-ron did - still persists.
Brave Version 1.8.96 Chromium: 81.0.4044.138 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I am running Catalina 10.15.4

Can you go to brave://settings/system
disabled hardware acceleration
and then relaunch Brave

25

@Aa-ron it’s already disabled for me

26

Enable it and then quit and restart Brave.

@Aa-ron enabling and relaunching (and not disabling it again) seems to actually be working so far

28

@Aa-ron it’s come back again, not sure what made the change

29

@sj1919,
Can you recall anything that happened before the scroll bar reappeared? e.g. restarting Brave or any changes to the settings.

30

@Aa-ron no, it was random as far as I could tell

31

@Aa-ron will this ever be addressed? it’s been two months now since I first posted…

32

@Aa-ron checking back on this - I am still having this problem. and I do have the latest Brave

Hi @sj1919,
I don’t have an update for you unfortunately, we can’t reproduce the issue which makes solving it hard. And we have not had enough causes to find a link/cause.
However, I have found a workaround that can help. Here is an extension you can try downloading.


You can set the scroll bar Width and Height to 0, and that makes it invisible.
Again, we know this is not a solution, it’s a temporary workaround.

@Aa-ron thanks for your reply but I wouldn’t quite call that a workaround as it applies to all pages. I still want a scrollbar on the rest of my browser experience, just not when I am watching a fullscreen YouTube video

@sj1919,
If you can provide a screenshot of it the scroll bar while a video is full screen, that would be appreciated, I think it could be helpful going forward.

Ok, here’s one.

I had the same issue on a 16" MBP.

Enabling the Compositor threaded scrollbar scrolling flag in brave://flags worked for me.
