@craigs100 is this still an issue? I couldn't reproduce the issue on macOS Big Sur with the latest nightly build:

Brave	1.25.46 Chromium: 90.0.4430.93 (Official Build) nightly (x86_64)
Revision	4df112c29cfe9a2c69b14195c0275faed4e997a7-refs/branch-heads/4430@{#1348}
OS	macOS Version 11.3 (Build 20E232)

Haven't yet tried Linux, but let us know if you're still having the same trouble; thanks!

I can't reproduce the issue at all now, mainly because I can no longer find the "AutoPlay" settings. So I guess you can say it's fixed!

(Currently using Version 1.23.73 Chromium: 90.0.4430.85 (Official Build) (64-bit))
