**Description of the issue: Youtube links in Brave open at m.youtube.com instead of being directed to the native Youtube app

That is not the point here, we all know that. We want a choice , that’s it. I use yt vanced and it has no ads. Even if i were to use the regular yt app, brave should have an option for a default. A consumer centric company should always prioritize people’s right to choose over all else.
I have Android 9 and it doesn’t happen. I suggest you clear the “default apps” settings in your Android and start over by choosing YouTube right away as default app for youtube.com videos. This will solve your issue.
To close the loop, I was able to track down the setting. It is within Brave, not OS.
Settings > Site settings > Video Playback in Brave > updated to disabled
