Description of the issue: RTX HDR/VSR only working in YouTube once video is full screen and full screen UI is gone.

Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary):

Keep in mind, in YouTube, RTX HDR SHOULD work immediately with or without full screen and RTX VSR SHOULD also work IMMEDIATELY as soon as entering full screen.

1. Turn on RTX HDR / VSR via Nvidia APP and Windows HDR settings (turn on indicator).

2. Play a Youtube video (in SDR).

  1. At this point, RTX HDR does not turn on Default and in Theater mode.
  2. Enter full screen mode and enhancements still won’t apply until waiting for a few seconds until the Youtube UI disappears and only then will the enhancements apply.
  3. Moving the mouse disables the enhancements until the UI disappears again

Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):

Expected result:

Not in full screen and UI is not present hence no enhancements and indicators.

Moving the mouse disables both enhancements.

Reproduces how often: Every time without fail

Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu): Windows 11 and Brave v 1.87.192

Additional Information: In Microsoft Edge, HDR works immediately without full screen and even with UI still present. VSR also works immediately as soon as full screening and even with UI still present.

Happens to me in any Browser and now is worse. Only the preview is activating both features, once I open the video it won’t at all, I’m on the latest hotfix driver, but started for me in the latest regular driver.

Edit: Not happening in Brave, only Edge and Firefox

Edit 2: Brave after a few mins into the video stops working, both enhancements.
