### Description When visiting YouTube on Brave, pressing and holding on the vid…eo player is supposed to fast forward the video. The fast-forward behavior starts to occur, but is interrupted by a context menu with the options Download, Share, or Print. ### Steps to reproduce 1. Open Brave (version 1.81.131 or later). 2. Visit YouTube and start playing a video. 3. Press and hold on the video player (as if to fast forward). ### Actual result A context menu appears with Download, Share, or Print, instead of continuing the fast forward. ### Expected result The video should fast forward smoothly without showing the context menu. ### Reproduces how often Easily reproduced ### Brave version Brave 1.81.131 and later ### Device Android 10 and later ### Channel information - [x] release (stable) - [x] beta - [x] nightly ### Reproducibility - [x] with Brave Shields disabled - [x] with Brave Rewards disabled - [ ] in the latest version of Chrome ### Miscellaneous information Upon investigation, this appears to be caused by the flag #enable-empty-space-context-menu-clank found at brave://flags. This seems to be enabled by default on Brave. When this flag is Disabled, YouTube’s long-press fast forward works as intended. When Enabled, Brave seems to interpret the YouTube video player (and potentially other areas) as “empty space,” triggering the context menu. ### Workaround: Disable the #enable-empty-space-context-menu-clank flag in brave://flags.
