Dev channel update to 95.0.1011.1 is live
Still have the problem with the cursor always going to the search box on YouTube.
If I refresh the YouTube home page, and perhaps click away to another tab, then come back to it, the cursor is in the search box and the drop down of my searches is in focus.
Mapantz typically we don't have any control over what happens in a webpage. If it wants to set focus somewhere, it can set focus anywhere it wants. Any HTML element can take focus just by calling its focus function. In fact, most webpages with search boxes tend to set focus there since searching for content is the number one thing people do on them. Also, is it possible this is being done by an extension you have installed?

Mapantz ah, if it's not doing it in another browser install, then it's either something we inherited from Chromium (in which case, Chrome Canary and Chrome Dev should behave the same as Edge Canary and Edge Dev), or it's something that's going on with the way your particular profile/install is set up. Since you're using Dev, does the same thing happen in Canary? What about in an InPrivate window or a new profile in Dev?
