Continuing the discussion from Removal of "Answer with AI" from Search Box :
Troubleshooting technical issues is much easier when both the user and support agent practice clear communication. For this reason, we have provided the template below for you to fill out with information about your issue. Please provide as much detail as possible so we can most efficiently resolve your problem.
Description of the issue:
Brave Version (check About Brave):
Operating System:
I agree that these buttons should be hidden when the Answer with AI option is toggled “off”.
I’ve pinged some team members internally about this – we had an issue that included this opened a while ago that was closed out:

Brave Search
### Description
When on search.brave.com, the `Answer with AI` toggle appears t… o re-enable itself after being disabled. This occurs sometimes even if the site is not refreshed (although it shouldn't happen regardless). Note that this occurs when you use the quick settings option on the Search homepage or when toggled off in the main settings page after clicking `All settings`:

Many of our users do not wish to use AI for a variety of reasons and it is important that we provide a way to easily/reliably disable the feature and hide the icon for those users. Additionally, the option to answer with AI also appears in the search drop down field, which should also be hidden if the setting is toggled "off":
### Steps to reproduce
1. Visit serach.brave.com
2. Toggle `Answer with AI` option "off" in settings
3. Close settings
4. Reopen settings
5. Observe that the option has toggled itself back on
6. Additionally, observe that even when settings open and the option is toggled "off" the AI icon in the search field is still shown
### Actual result
Option toggles itself back on
### Expected result
Site settings should be maintained and this option should stay off and the related icon hidden.

When maximising a video in Brave, pressing Esc or clicking mini… mise does not exit fullscreen correctly. After two clicks, the entire Brave browser window minimises instead of just the video. I then need to click again to restore the Brave window.

2. Press Esc or click the minimise/exit fullscreen button.
3. Observe that the whole Brave window minimises after two clicks.
### Actual result
Entire Brave browser minimises after attempting to exit video fullscreen.

Video should exit fullscreen/minimised state without minimising the entire browser window.
