Using a Brave Browser New Window:

1. Visit https://www.youtube.com
2. Click the “tune” icon to the left of the https in the URL address field
3. In the pop-down menu, click Site settings
4. In the resulting Site Settings Details window, try > click on Delete data (might not exist?)
5. Next, in the same Site Settings Details window, click on Reset permissions (definitely exists)
6. Close the settings page.
7. Reload the https://www.youtube.com webpage
8. Click the “tune” icon
9. Make sure that JavaScript is Enabled

Tune icon:

In a Brave Browser New Window, go to: brave://settings/clearBrowserData and for Time range > All time, using Basic tab:

• Enable Cookies and other site data
• Enable Cached images and files
• Click the Delete data button
• Exit / Quit everything
• Restart the computer

Create a new user Profile for Testing:

Create and use AN ADDITIONAL Brave Browser user Profile (Menu --> More tools --> Add profile) - only ← meaning: Do not have any other Brave Browser user Profile tabs/windows open.

When creating this new Brave Browser user Profile for test purposes

• Do not import anything.
• Do not add any extensions.
• Do not allow/enable any Brave Browser “bells and whistles” such as Brave Rewards, Brave Talk, etc.

IF this test Brave Browser user Profile does not present your problem, then possibly, the profile that you have been using, has a problem . . . and that might be caused by one or more extensions, or too many tabs ← complex/conundrum.

• test combinations of extensions
• test order of installation of extensions
