Website problems only:

• did you check with Brave Shields down? Yes, same result
• did you check in Safari/Firefox (WkWebView-based browsers)? Firefox did not work but due to the nature of this issue I did not feel this was applicable

Probably due to lack of widevine support. Also the same issue occured on the desktop version when widevine was not enabled

@androidacy-user there actually have been designs and more put together- it's in our queue and we'll be picking it up soon

I'm going to close this issue in favor of #20241 which has a lot more information. Please check there for updates 😄
