Youtube still very slow and laggy on Brave

Is anyone else still experiencing YouTube being super slow and laggy when using Brave?

Videos take a long time to start, buffering is constant, and sometimes the whole page freezes for a few seconds — especially when switching resolutions or skipping ahead.

I’ve already tried pretty much everything i’ve seen people list as possible solution

Hardware acceleration is activated.

Posts here in the community about this issue are very old, for years people are complaining about it. No fix so far???

It works fine on other browsers like Chrome or Edge, so it seems to be specific to Brave.

Anyone else having this issue? Any tips or fixes would be appreciated!

I had the same issues and it was resolved by disabling “Ambient mode” on YT. You’ll find the toggle in Settings (same place you changed vid resolution).
