I use Brave for solely one purpose that I hope to see in Firefox one day. It’s the only app I’ve found that lets you locally download a web video and play it natively on CarPlay. I rarely use it, but it’s handy when I need it.

Do you often watch videos while driving? Or am I missing something?

Like I said, I’ve rarely used it. It’s a niche need, but Brave was the only app that did it when I wanted it.

I don't get it, is Brave the player? There are no other video players that work in the car?

As of the last time I looked into it, there were no video players that worked natively in CarPlay. If you long press on a video in Brave, you can add it to your “Brave Playlist.” If you set the playlist to download locally, you can play it in the Brave app in CarPlay.

Carplay is an apple thing, so they should be speaking about some ios limitation
