Redirect in the DuckDuckGo Videos page to the position of the video item that was last selected for viewing
Describe the bug
Hello. We will notice an inconsistent behavior regarding the Videos page. Leaving the viewing of a video while being in full screen video view, results in a default redirection to the position of the first video item that is presented on the Videos page.
How to Reproduce
- Regardless of the position of a video item on the Videos page, launch the video.
- Set full screen video view.
- Leave the viewing of the video by closing the video page.
- Observe the resulting behavior.
Expected behavior
Consistent behavior is expected; hence, once the video view is left, a default redirect to the position of the video item that was lastly selected on the page for viewing. For comparison, such behavior can be observed on https://duckduckgo.com, though while being defined as a search engine in a third-party browser.
Environment
- DuckDuckGo version: **5.216.2**
- Android version: **8.0.0**

Hello. The faulty behavior observed in connection with the use of Duckplayer has been corrected, thus justifying the previous closure of this ticket. However, as I note late, this behavior was not linked to the sole fact of launching Duckplayer to watch a video, but rather to the very fact of a redirection to a video service, and this regardless of the service. For demonstration, open via DDG's Videot tab a content hosted on Dailymotion for example.

Hi @Ricky-Tigg , this is how it works for now, even though we know it's not perfect. We've passed the issue along internally, and the team will look into prioritising it.
