Description of the issue:
When playing youtube videos in Brave and Brave Beta, videos tend to stutter and stop while audio continues playing. Sometimes both audio and video stop.
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary):
- Play youtube video; some videos that suffer the most from this issue are:
-
Scroll down to comment section until video is not visible; another way to trigger this issue is to click on another tab and then back
-
Video freezes while audio keeps playing. Sometimes, the video fast forwards while the audio continues at normal speed. Then the audio and video both stop and buffer.
Reproduces how often:
Some youtube channels have very repeatable stuttering in all videos, while others seem to have little stuttering. The issue is more repeatable when videos are played at 2x speed.
