Brave browser freeze on my MacBook Pro

I’m an old user for Brave on Windows, I have recently moved to Mac-OS.

The browser keep hanging and freezing which provides a very bad experience.

I’ve MacBook Pro M5, 16 GB, MAC OS is : 26.5.1

Is there any solution? I’m not sure what to do.

Regards,

Suggest that you try to keep the workload light for a while, meaning if you must use Tabs as a matter of habit/practice, keep that reduced to a max of 10 Tabs per Brave Browser window.

Do not yet use Brave Sync, in order to, for a while, reduce workload.

In a Brave Browser New Window, go to: ‘brave://flags/#use-angle’ and try ‘OpenGL’ instead of ‘Metal’

And for ‘brave://flags/#enable-gpu-rasterization’ - set to Disabled

And for ‘brave://flags/#enable-zero-copy’ - set to Disabled

You certainly can test each of those, one-at-a-time.

Exit / Quit everything and Restart the Mac.


Take a look at Brave Browser Task Manager window display:

Brave Browser Task Manager window that displays column titles:

→ Task | Memory footprint | CPU | Process ID | Image cache | Script cache | GPU memory | JavaScript memory (<-- that creeps up)

When you add columns in the Brave Browser Task Manager window, they may not appear in that same arrayed order.
