Landscape on iOS iPhone YouTube screen rotation

I would like to see a new feature for Brave on iOS: a Landscape Mode toggle button for videos (especially YouTube) inside the browser.

Why this is important:

  • Currently, to watch YouTube videos in landscape on iPhone, we must enable the full system screen rotation.

  • Many users prefer to keep rotation locked because it interferes with regular browsing, and use

  • Some apps (including other browsers and some third-party video players) offer an in-app rotation/landscape toggle, which allows videos to rotate without unlocking system rotation.

  • Adding this feature would greatly improve the browsing and media-watching experience on Brave.

  • A small “Rotate” or “Landscape” button within the video

  • Tapping it forces the video into full-screen landscape mode even when iPhone rotation off

Why Brave should consider it:

  • It solves a real usability problem

  • It enhances video consumption—one of the most common uses of mobile browsers.

  • It gives Brave a competitive advantage over browsers that rely solely on system rotation.

This would be a highly useful and user-friendly addition. Thank you for considering it.
