RSS Feeds not displaying images (Youtube)

[Dean-Corso]

Description

Feeds are not showing images in the RSS posts for youtube (and others custom added feeds). The cards of those posts are empty and just displaying the titles only. Also there is no name of the channel owner to see just "youtube.com". Would be nice if you could make the RSS handling more advanced / customizable. Also the entire feed window lags on scrolling even the window lags where I can enable / disable the "Brave News".

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to Youtube / any about page of any user channel
2. You get the RSS icon in URL bar to see so click on it and press follow
3. Open new empty tab and scroll down to see your feed posts of Youtube
4. In my case they are all empty / no images

Actual result

As I said, no images are showing. Even not channel NAME of the feed itself only the source "youtube" is displaying.

Expected result

RSS feeds should display the images but it does not.
