I’ve been using brave for a long time and didn’t had any performance issues but after updating to brave v1.98.60 I’ve been getting poor performance from brave sites take minutes to load and sometimes don’t load at all and videos also take a lot of time to load and it freezes every time I switch to a different tab or different video I have a good PC and good internet someone help me fix this I love brave and don’t wanna switch to a different browser.

Has this been happening when you switch between 2 brave windows, because that’s what I have been facing on MacOS?

Yeah I think it’s some kind of bug because it didn’t happen before.

Try deleting the taskbar icon, and starting Brave from desktop icon or Start menu and see if that helps
