The video player in YouTube and other sites that have ads are not working only playing one second and then stop or just do not play at all but other sites like Netflix and such still work fine

idk how to explain further thats pretty much my problem

OK. On your computer, in a Brave Browser New Window go to:

brave://version

Please copy the first 4 lines:

  • Brave:
  • Revision:
  • OS:
  • Javascript:

and paste them, here.

Brave 1.73.91 Chromium: 131.0.6778.85 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Revision 35427fa72a008a7e861fa9828e07a0ba2cd46ebd
OS Windows 11 Version 23H2 (Build 22631.3737)
JavaScript V8 13.1.201.9

I would like to say that this doesn’t happen on my phone and tablet and also not on chrome

@samaha74 guess big things would be:

  1. Does disabling Shields allow everythign to play okay?

  2. Does this also happen in private window?

  3. If happens in private window, can you test in a new browser profile that you’ll use for testing (second profile, not replacing your first)?
    ( Hamburger Menu imageMore ToolsAdd New Profile)

  1. no disabling sheilds doesn’t help
  2. it doesn’t happen in private window

This usually means it’s cookies or one of your extensions if you’re using one.

This is because the only thing that private window is doing is creating a session with no cookies and with all extensions disabled unless you’ve adjusted settings to allow the extension to run in private.

Everything else should be the same between a normal window and private window. So whenever we hear that one works in private you know it should be one of those two things

oh ok I’ll look into it thanks
