Description of the issue:
Subtitles will disappear when watching a youtube video in fullscreen in the Brave browser on ios (it works on adnroid mobile devices). So when watching videos spoken in a foreign language I primarily hold my ios device vertically to be able to see the whole video with subtitles.

  1. View any video (ex. https://youtu.be/HB_pcbIP5uA?si=Lfgvz6vKfHyzmw7r) turn on subtitles and fullscreen the video on an iphone.

Expected result:
Subtitles should appear.(It doesn’t)

Brave Version( check About Brave):
1.57.2 (23.9.27.14)

Mobile Device details
Iphone 13 pro, ios 17.0.2

Additional Information:

@jjk test on other browser. You’ll find this is an iOS/webkit issue. It even happens with Safari.
