Description of the issue: When trying to open up more than one tab in YouTube, the new tab just shows a black screen with some grey buttons with no icons. It was fine before I updated. And NOW youtube isnt working at all anymore. Here is a screen of what youtube looks like for me in brave.

Exact URL of the website in question: youtube.com

Did the issue present with default Shields settings? (yes/no) y

Does the site function as expected when Shields are turned off? n

Is there a specific Shields configuration that causes the site to break? If so, tell us that configuration. (yes/no): idk

Does the site work as expected when using Chrome? y

Brave version (check About Brave):

Brave 1.81.131 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Chromium: 139.0.7258.66

EDIT/UPDATE: After updating the actual Chrome app brave is now working fine. Now the question is, why am I having to update chrome in order for brave to work?

You don’t. This is likely just youtube trying out/implementing some sort of “throttling” when they detect users who have ad-blockers installed/enabled. This happens frequently and is generally resolved within a couple of days. Note that you may need to refresh the page when this occurs.

All that said, on my end, Youtube appears to be working without issue on Windows 11 and macOS systems.
