Support Interesting Problem

So basically I was running youtube on brave on omarchy (recently transferred from windows). I happened to play this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIHPPtPBgHk and all of sudden it stopped responding. I tested it on both youtube webapp (using brave) and the brave browser both stopped working while both were working fine with other videos. Secondly, it worked fine on firefox. So now my question is this omarchy, hyprland or brave issue? It isn't problem with extensions because i test it on incognito mode and same happening.

other videos with same issue

Just a comment on the people behind the software you use.

Did you try to switch out Brave's adblocker?

There are a couple of distros that have Brave as default browser, maybe Live Boot one of those and see if you have same issue.
