[iOS] - Youtube in Fullscreen on iPad does not show Captions #37704

Description:

Youtube in Fullscreen in Brave does not show captions.
It shows in Safari.
This is due to Brave using the native video player that WebKit spawns vs. Safari using the expanded div.requestFullscreen to request FS on a div-tag.

Steps to Reproduce

Enable Captions on a Youtube video.
Enter fullscreen on iPad on Youtube.

Actual result:

No captions on the video

Expected result:

Should have captions

Reproduces how often: [Easily reproduced, Intermittent Issue]

I am also having this issue. When you go fullscreen you lose the standard YouTube playback bar and all the features that go with it (like captions). See my attached GIF. I’ve never seen a browser do that with fullscreen YouTube before anywhere, really surprising.
