Description of the issue: Up until 2 days ago I was able to listen to YouTube in the background with the brave browser on android.
How can this issue be reproduced?
Disabling and reenabling background play setting has no effect
Restarting app and phone has no effect
Expected result: return to original working status
No background youtube play when signed in to youtube. Works when not signed in, but as soon as signed in, brave stops playing in background. I’ve cleared cache, toggled background play settings in various ways. Tried clearing data under site settings for youtube. Found workaround by putting desktop setting on.
Reproduced: Signing into youtube and turning off screen or switching to any other app.
Expected result: youtube to continue in background.
Brave Version: 1.84.133
Mobile Device Details: Galaxy a42 5g
Additional Info: Works when not signed in, but as soon as signed in, brave stops playing in background. I’ve cleared cache, toggled background play settings in various ways. Tried clearing data under site settings for youtube. This worked to restore background only when not signed in. Found workaround by putting desktop setting on.
