Description

If you visit YouTube on Brave (tried in Safari w/ no problems), you get redirected to the mobile site. The odd thing is that in incognito mode, it correctly shows you the desktop site. It even redirects you to the desktop site if you input a mobile address.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Enter www.youtube.com into the address bar

Actual result:

You end up on the mobile website instead of the desktop website

Expected result:

I expected to end up on the desktop site

When testing mobile UA on desktop, this occur. The easiest fix is to clear the youtube cookies and manually type www.youtube.com to avoid any autocorrect to m.youtube.com @cjduncana

I see. I had to clear YouTube's cookies and not its cache 👌🏻
