.m3u8 is a file format for video streams. It works like a playlist, it’s a file that defines a collection of individual video files, each being one small part of the stream.
m3u8’s can’t be played natively by a browser, and if the OP has enabled autoplay media, kbin is probably directing the browser to that URL, the browser can’t play it in-tab, so it downloads it as a file instead.
Quirky little bug you found there OP. Codeberg would love to know.
Since nobody has filled you in, I may as well : Codeberg appears to be FOSS Github. It’s just a place for people to track bugs and collaborate on open source projects which is presumably, itself, open source.
Codeberg is a non-profit founded specifically to provide a FOSS alternative to GitHub and GitLab for hosting projects. The site is based on Forgejo, which is a community-driven fork of Gitea (both are FOSS, though Gitea is helmed by a for-profit company).

There’s another post about this that has a codeberg issue placed.

Neat, I’ve made much ado about nothing lol. Still not sure what a codeberg is, suppose I should look at that too.
