Brave freezes when playing video on dual monitor

Description of the issue:

I have 2 144Hz monitor (1080p and 1440p). Whenever I play 2 video (twitch, youtube, reddit, or any player really) visible on 2 tabs, one on each monitor. Both video completely freeze (I still get sound from 1 tab but not both). If I switch one of the tab to hide the video, it starts playing back normally immediately.

Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.

  • Open 2 tabs
  • One on each monitor
  • Play any video on both (youtube, twitch)

Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):

Videos freezes up and sound stop playing aswell on one of the tab

Expected result:

Both video keep playing without issue

Reproduces how often:

100% of the time.

Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):

Brave is up to date

Brave 1.82.165 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Chromium: 140.0.7339.80

Additional Information:

Disabling hardware acceleration '“fix” the issue as in I no longer have it but I have other screen tearing / playback issue, albeit not as brutal as the freeze

Switching to the OpenGL renderer in the advanced settings also fixes it with the same screen tearing issue.

I dont have the issue on other chromium based browser (edge or chrome). If I have one monitor with Chrome/Firefox/Edge and the Other with Brave, I don’t have the issue either.

It only freezes when it’s 2 Brave tabs on the 2 monitors.
