Description of the issue: In Brave Desktop, the YouTube site takes a long time to load. This doesn’t happen with any other site I visit and doesn’t happen at all when I visit YouTube in the Brave mobile app on iOS.
How can this issue be reproduced?
- Shut down Brave completely and ensure cleared out of memory
- Load Brave on Desktop
- Go to youtube.com
Expected result: …is that the page should load quickly. There’s no problem at all on Brave’s iOS mobile app, even with shields up.
Brave Desktop Version on Mac Sonoma 14.6: v1.68.128
Additional Information: I searched online to see if the problem might have something to do with my personal settings, my cache, etc., and I made adjustments, but the problem persists. Also, this is a new-ish problem. I believe I noticed it first a month or two ago; no issue with YT before that. Just to super clarify: I don’t mean there’s a problem with loading or watching videos on YouTube. I mean only there’s a delay in getting to the site itself via Brave Desktop, especially after first opening Brave.
