Getting an error "navigator.getBattery" when embed youtube video

[alokpant]

When youtube videos are embed in the page, it gives error:

Uncaught (in promise) Error: navigator.getBattery not supported.
    at Promise (chrome-extension://mnojpmjdmbbfmejpflffifhffcmidifd/content/scripts/navigator.js:12)
    at Promise (<anonymous>)
    at Navigator.getBattery (chrome-extension://mnojpmjdmbbfmejpflffifhffcmidifd/content/scripts/navigator.js:12)

Multiple videos give same multiple errors:

Even after putting shield down it gives same error:

I am trying to debug my own script and because of navigator.getBattery, all debuggers are skipped.

Thank you very much.

For privacy reasons, navigator.getBattery is not available in Brave. (Issue #1885, commit 7e3d749) It is also not available in Firefox or WebKit-based browsers, but only Chromium-based browsers.

YouTube probably assumes Brave supports navigator.getBattery since it's Chromium-based. Not sure how to work around that.

wontfix? @diracdeltas

Honestly I do not have any use-case for 'navigator.getBattery'. I just embedded 3 videos. However the impact of this error message was that my debugger on console was getting skipped. So it was difficult for me to test feature. I used chrome for all additional testing as there was no error there.

Please feel free to close it.

I wonder if we could temporarily spoof navigator.getBattery just for YouTube until the API is removed in Chromium.

thanks, closing as wontfix since all major browsers are removing support for this API or have already done so
