Yup ... I to have used Vivaldi for many years till I switched to Brave several years ago .... don't remember Vivaldi having a problem with YouTube but if that is now the case it won't do me much good as I spend quite a lot of time surfing the Tube ....
I love Brave all except for the spelling problem .... I see on their forum at least 4-5 people complained about it but no solution was given and the topic closed .... may try to open a new post and see if anyone will respond ..... ha yea right .... LOL
Well I guess unfortunately for me Zen is not my answer I've tried for the past 2 days for 6-7 hours a day to customize it to my liking but to many things can't be added or changed .... like adding another tabs bar .... getting all my email program to open up in one place so I can just click on one after another ..... getting the Home page to open as the default start page ....
The issue with Vivaldi is that the adblocker service that it uses works excellently on regular websites, and it seems to work well with YouTube too, I feel that the problem is with YouTube itself. When the adblocker blocks the ads, YouTube keeps on trying to show the ads, but after some seconds it gives up and eventually starts the video. Now, if this issue does not happen with Brave, then it's still a better option for you cuz you prioritize video streaming.
Another workaround would be disabling the in-built ad-blocker of Vivaldi and using any other ad-blocking services for only YouTube, and see if it works!
As far as I know, Brave and all Chromium browsers get their dictionary from the OS itself.
What is other Chromium based browsers currently doing?
(PS, your OS has not updated Brave in a while, we are on 1.87.191 currently, your version is from December of last year).
I did an update in the terminal and got this ....

Apparently Brave has no "NO_PUBKEY 0686B78420038257" could that be why Brave isn't being updated ?????
Chromium based browsers all suffer from very poor spellchecker addons. They skip misspelled words. They offer suggestions that are nowhere near close... even if you are just one letter off.
They are absurdly bad.
That means that 32bit Architecture isn't supported. Not a wild Issue - and something that in the Instructions from Brave should have changed. But You can make that manually.
When done, press ctrl+o to save, Enter to confirm and ctrl+x to exit. Back in the normal Terminal Overview type sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade and the Message should be gone.
Thank you Ponce ..... I'll give it a try later on today as I just woke up .... your instructions are very clear and I can copy them to TextMaker ..... print them out and follow along as I use the terminal .....
