Description of the issue: The most recent version of Brave Browser Android takes 4 seconds longer to respond to a website before loading it compared to Android browsers like Cromite, even with a stable internet connection. I have disabled both Google Play and Google Play Services (without root; they…

Well it might load slightly slower if you have a lot of filter lists setup. Does this happen for every single website? Other browsers maybe able to load quicker because they don’t have the privacy features that brave has. 4 seconds can be pretty annoying but is it really that big of a deal when you …

I use Brave with the default settings and haven’t modified any. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Brave several times over the past years whene…

I have had this issue off and on with Brave on Android for months if not more, seems to have come back just now.
