I'm not 100% sure what's going on, but within the last week it seems like every site I visit in Brave is lazy loading images.

Sites that I am certain never did this behavior before, all at once, various sites. This behavior makes me wonder if there was a change behind the scenes in Brave? Is there some power saving or bandwidth saving setting that is suddenly on by default?

I like to open several tabs in the background and have them load in the background, so when I come back to them they're ready to go. But since this week all those tabs are having to pull in that media content as I scroll which overall slows down my workflow. This is not the behavior of having background tabs suspended then reloading upon being made active. It's just the media content, lazy loading instead of plain loading.

Anyone know of anything or a setting or flag that might undo this?

Been using Brave for a couple years, never had an issue. My OS is Mint 22.3 but I dont see that being an issue (opened YT in a different browser and it works fine) because Brave was working fine up until an hour or so ago. Haven't changed anything on my end.

When you hit play in YT you get the "glow" of the video and the audio but no video. As you can see when I put the mouse pointer on the timeline it shows the vid in the little box.

Restarted, cleared cookies and cache and all of that, rebooted twice still the same. Vivaldi is working on YT. Just wondering if anyone has seen this because this is a first for me.

Hola, me volvio a pasar esto de las pestañas de que en un momento de la nada cerre el navegador y al volverlo a abrir, ya no tengo mis grupos de pestañas, alguien sabe si esto ya tiene solucion? O toca esperar semanas a que Brave me vuelva a poner mis grupos de pestañas :(

Brave: v1.89.132
Chromium: 147.0.7727.56

Not sure if the Brave sub is the correct place to ask, but I am trying to cast a YouTube clip from my laptop to my Android TV (using Android 14). Even though I am casting with Brave and have SmartTube installed on my Android TV, every time I cast, my TV opens the YouTube app (which plays ads all the time). I have tried uninstalling the YouTube app, but it does not allow me to do so. It's fully disabled from the settings, but looks like it's still the default app for YouTube videos.

Is there anything I can do on my laptop or TV so that the SmartTube is the default app that receives the cast and plays the YouTube video? Thanks in advance!

Does anyone else have this issue when using the Brave browser in an iOS device. When I screen mirror or Airplay the video, it is dubbed from English to a random language? This happens most commonly when I have the settings on desktop browser view. Also when screen casting the video options for bit rate are limited to 360P.
