Well, I think I just fixed it. I could delete the post but I’ll leave it just in case someone has the same problem. The thing is that I had installed the extension h264ify a long time ago, but it shouldn’t have been used since I had the option to be used in YT “unticked” (actually I tried to tick it, restart, then untick it, but it was the same behaviour). But disabling the extension and restarting the browser seems to have worked. Probably it’s some kind of incompatibility with the latest Brave update.
