Additional Information:

@kuudora,
The panel on the left seems smaller as well — can you confirm whether or not you’ve simply zoomed in on the page? You can check by visiting Youtube.com, letting the page load, then checking the main menu and confirming that the Zoom value is set to 100%.

Thanks for mentioning that, I completely forgot to say that in the post. I am using zoom 90% most of the time and did also test putting zoom back to 100% which did unfortunately not restore the old size.
Here is a screenshot of the regular 100% zoom on brave

Thanks for confirming.

In that case I’m actually not sure what’s going on here. I am curious if you try visiting Youtube in a Private window, do you still see the same issue?

It appears that I do not get the same issue in a private window:

From this information I made up the conclusion that it would be a youtube issue that is causing this. So what I did was log into a different account on brave and the videos returned to their original size. I even logged into the same account that was previously on brave on another browser to really make sure and the videos were smaller on the other browser.
From this I can confidentially say it’s an issue with my youtube account and not Brave.
I will take this to youtube now instead, thanks for helping me narrow it down to this. :smiley:
