I advocate for Brave professionally but may need to stop.
I restart my system almost daily now because of Brave. Today’s restart had 28 processes running, over 20 were just a Brave icon in Task Manager. 15 minutes later, while typing this, 30 processes with 6 non-Brave. 20 minutes later, now down to 12 with 2 non-Brave processes and with 7 tabs open. They something changed in the last few weeks…
I set the performance settings, e.g. stopped background processes.
I agree with you. I’ve been complaining about performance and problems for the past few weeks.
