I have an Android 15 device (Pixel 6) with the Gmail app.
My default browser is Brave, and I do not want to change it to Chrome.
I received an email with a link to a YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkP4JF5X6Fc&t=1s .
When I click the link, it opened up Brave to https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UkP4JF5X6Fc&t=1s (on the "m" subdomain).
Why didn't it open the YouTube app directly?
1. How can I fix that behavior?
Android > Settings > YouTube > Open by default > "In the app" is already enabled.
Even worse, when visiting a video at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UkP4JF5X6Fc&t=1s on my Pixel 6, when I clicked the "open app" button on the page, it said "this site can't be reached" and has "intent:" in the url.
2. How can I fix this intent problem?
https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/244621/how-to-make-youtube-urls-open-in-youtube-app-rather-than-browser-updated-for-2 no longer works for me.
I don't see a menu for Brave > Settings > Site settings > Media > “Video playback in Brave”
