I have been using Brave (auto-update; newest version?) for some time now on my iPad with IOS version 18.6.2. Since a few days youtube pages keep loading forever. If you push the play button, the screen turns black and the video will not show up. It looks as if Google has found a way to make life mis…

There is no such option. Just to be clear, Brave works 100% with YouTube in Windows 10 and 11. Just tested it. Brave on iPadOS is not working as it should.

Changing angle to D3D9 was able to solve the problem for me, my problem was that the video was playing but the screen was black. Using v 1.83.109

Changing to D3D9 does not work, clearning cookies/all data does not work, i need to reaload the browser 2-3 times to get it to play. and it only happens when trying to play the video, it never stutters in the middle ( for pc windows 11 ) . im using the mobile app just fine with no issues. im loosing…

Thank you so much this has resolved the issue for me. Using Win 10.

Turning off hardware acceleration fix problem but its no way to live in 2025 :wink: Changing Angle graphic backend do D3D9 works in win 11, scrolling down on step is fixing image.. i have ben fighting with graphic drivers ( it was fixed after reinstall but it went back after reset and on my 2 and 3 …

I’m sorry for taking advantage of you brave, please fix this… its been years (3 days):pensive_face::broken_heart: P.S. iPad is still broken and doesn’t have the option to change ANGLE graphics backend

I have tried a lot, but nothing solved the problem for my iPad IOS situation. ‘Request mobile site’ shows your video’s without advertisements. Horrible lay-out, but you can do your things unhindered. Don’t forget to switch off the ‘Always ask desktop’ setting.

i think youtube is pushing something. i had some adds come through at one point today, and actually it would make alot of sense since the videos are not palying becuse they would be trying to play an add instead but brave dont allow it.

Youtube opens but videos remain black and don’t start
