It seems like this would be a simple issue, but I can’t find anything that addresses it. Whenever I click on a RM file (I know that is an outdated format, but it works fine on other browsers), Brave proceeds to download it. I’m tired of saving these things on my drive. Why can’t I specify that Brave should actually play the file instead of downloading it? I can’t find any place in setup where I can tell it what to do with audio and video files, and this seems like it should be BASIC! However, they play perfectly on Chrome and Firefox. What am I missing?

@Elvis1935,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
Can you please share a link to a website you’re using to find these files so I can test this on my end?
Thank you
