@Shalabyer,
Can you elaborate a bit on what you mean here? Youtube does not allow you to download content from their site — are you using some sort of extension or third party software to do this?
Sorry I am not talking about downloading an MP4 video file
I am talking about the download that comes with the premium package from YouTube as an ordinary browser like Chrome
with brave there is a feature to download the videos for offline watch right?, I’ve been using it for years now!
that is what I am talking about
@Shalabyer,
So it looks like with Brave’s Shields up, the download function will not work as you stated. However, with Shields down, the function does work and, further, after turning Shields back on again, the function continues to work.
I’ve opened the following issue on our Github for review:
Great, Glad you reproduced it!
the thing that I’am asking here isn’t Download function is a privilege when using Brave without the need of YT Premium account?
i have been using it years now without a YT Premium account!
there was always an option called Download in my ordinary account.
