Description of the issue: When I am on the YouTube website, and I open video links in new background tabs, the videos will automatically start to play before I have actually clicked on the tabs. I have tried clearing the cache, and this issue is not present in Chrome or Safari. I have also tried to disable the “background audio” setting. I do not have the YouTube app installed.
What is interesting is that if I just click the YouTube link directly, without opening it in a new tab, then the video does not start to play automatically, and it will not play until I hit the play button. Very odd.
I am in the process of switching to Brave and there’s little quirks here and there, but this is by far the most frustrating. Please help!
How can this issue be reproduced?
- Go to YouTube.com
- Open several links in new tabs
Expected result: YouTube links do not begin to play until the tab is actually opened.
