What happens when using YouTube on mobile brave browser

YouTube video, mobile browser, the setting for multiple playback cannot be clicked, and only dark color is displayed after clicking
,I’m sure the problem occurred after updating the browser.
,You can’t click to set the playback speed, but some videos can.

Sometimes, a Brave Browser (mobile) update will upset the appearance (Lite, Night, Dark) modes . . . and other Brave Browser settings.

Yes, I met the same problem. I found that watching english, japanese speaking videos songs are fine, watching chinese speaking videos will result of this issue. Starting yesterday.

Update: I tried several previous version of brave: one dated back 1 weeks ago March13 1.76.74 and another dated back to Jan 19 1.74.48. All of them have same issue of youtube video setting icon not working. I guess the problem might caused by some changes on youtube side? since previous version of brave now having same setting icon problem as this version

I have the same problem (and other problems too, with the last updates)

Android
Poco F5
1.76.75

Browser update broke compatibility:After the update, the browser may have started using a different version of the YouTube player or changed the way it works with the controls. This could have violated the ad blocker.Try switching temporarily to another browser (for example, Firefox or Kiwi Browser with black Origin) to check if it will work correctly.There are not enough or too many filters:Sometimes aggressive filters block not only ads, but also interface elements. This explains why you can’t click on the playback speed settings.Check the list of filters and experimentally disable some of them (especially YouTube-specific filters).

Add filters, for example:

Make sure that you have the latest versions of “uBlock Filters – Annoyances” or “AdGuard Annoyances” enabled.Broken player controls:
Sometimes the blocker removes DOM elements, which makes the player inactive.Try disabling the blocking of inline scripts on YouTube — sometimes it fixes the functionality.4. Try YouTube Vanced or ReVanced:If you’re on Android, then there are third-party YouTube clients without ads, such as ReVanced. They give full control over the interface and solve the problems of blockers.5. DNS ad blocking:If the problem is with the browser blocker, try connecting AdGuard DNS or NextDNS. This can remove ads without breaking the interface elements.
