Another YouTube gripe… pausing

Frequently I want to pause a video. So I click on the screen. Very frequently it doesn’t pause… but the screen maximizes. WTH?

I recently switched to Brave. But this isn’t a Brave problem because it’s been happening for a while.

Clicking in that big red area below is supposed to pause. Only that small red box bottom right is to maximize.

Is it a huge deal? NO. But it is annoying. YouTube just decides… “Oh, he want’s to pause… no this time lets not do that… he probably means he wants to maimize.”

Why do you do that YouTube?
