Hello, i am using the latest windows brave version and i am having problems with youtube, i tried disabling shields but the videos do not load properly. I can watch about 30 seconds of a video before it goes into an infinite loading loop. I tried clearing history/cache/cookies and also disabling shields but no luck with it.
