[brave] The last few days, Brave has been running very slowly and crashing often. It seems to be taking up an inordinate amount of resources, too. I’ve noticed that it seems to slow down gradually, i.e., when first opening the browser, it isn’t working too bad, but over time, it slows down, then …

I’ve got this same issue, and it started Sunday. Memory usage is off the charts (see attachments). There’s no way a browser with three tabs open should do this. [Screenshot 2020-12-15 064809] [Screenshot 2020-12-15 064849] [Screenshot 2020-12-15 064953]

I’ve noticed that sometimes brave uses lots of RAM but I generally have lots of tabs open so that makes at least a little sense. But, I use an extension that suspends tabs that are inactive after a certain amount of time which should help. Occasionally I check the Brave Task Manager which reads that…

Brave eventually (5 to 10 min) bogs down and crashes. Everything was working fine until Sunday.

Also my experience, I started a separate thread recently about this happening after the latest update.

So, what happens now? Me and all these people have this problem: does anybody from Brave ever get in touch to try and fix it? Also, I’m getting replies to this via e-mail that aren’t appearing on the thread itself. Not sure why.

This is the same issue: [image] Brave 1.18.75 and RAM issue Desktop Support Yes, we have tried that. No difference.

I am experiences a very slow loading process on gmail, google drive, and all other google apps running through Brave. Sometimes required to reload page. Windows features are very quick and responsive in loading that are not associated with Brave.
