Description

While brave shield is on, streams on twitch.tv are not able to be watched, i tried many options, and it appears to be just that. it just keeps loading or nothing happens

Steps to Reproduce

  1. open twitch.tv
    2.turn on brave shield
  2. go to any channel
  3. :/

Actual result:
Stream will not load

Expected result:
Video should play without ads, twitch ads are horrible they just pop out of nowhere

Reproduces how often:
Always

Brave Version

v0.19.105

Additional Information

still works on chrome with adblock, so i dont really know whats happening, besides chrome being slow and having big network consumption nothing uncommon

yes, i looked over it, but allowing ads did not make the video stream function properly. it required completely turning off the shield.

This started with a recent Brave update. Disabling Fingerprinting Protection allows the video to load.

WebGL is the fingerprinting method being blocked and stopping the videos from loading.
