When i play video on youtube and i have resolution higher than 720p, youtube player after few seconds of playing video’s starting loading and then after few seconds of normal playing it repeats that constantly until i will lower the resolution. On 720p it happens sometimes but less frequently. Also I noticed that video is lagging. I was testing youtube player on firefox and i didn’t have that issues, everything was working normal on resolution higher than 720p so I think it isn’t any hardware issue. Also I don’t have any problems with any other video players on different websites.

Brave 1.51.114, Chromium 113.0.5672.92

The problem was caused by enabled background player function in brave. It should be better optimized, because on firefox background add-on doesn’t cause any troubles.
