Hello team, I have just recently installed Brave for the first time in my computer because I was told it’s great. My company uses Chrome as the main browser but I’m tired that Chrome uses too much RAM so, I decided to try Brave. Notes: Brave -> Version 0.68.139 Chromium: 77.0.3865.90 (Official Bu…

shield, reward and tor so a bit more but i think the more you use both chrome always over takes. I am saying this from personal experience. @Mattches help him with the command line to disable shield, reward and all the extra

@Charles_Romero , Note that, in the image you shared, it looks like you’re running ~20 Brave processes and ~15 Chrome processes. If you open a Guest window (so that both browsers are essentially “fresh”) in Brave and Chrome, both set to a New tab page, observe the task manager again and note whethe…

@Mattches , thank you, please see image below. I have opened the same 11 tabs in both browsers and also one new tab as you requested: [image] I turned off Shield on all the tabs as @Dgenies mentioned too but as you can see in the picture, Brave uses more Ram and also opens more processes than Chrom…

@Charles_Romero , Again, can you try running the two with identical settings? The simpler the conditions better (so maybe just one tab, rather than all the ones you have open).

Try testing both browsers in private window mode, with no extensions enabled (since extensions will skew the results)

@fanboynz I tried what you requested as shown below: [Brave3-2] Even when both loading in “private” mode and with no pages loaded, still Brave uses more RAM than Chrome & more processes

Not as bad you’d think given the features like Sheilds built in

Didn’t he say he turned off all extensions? So with everything off, what is Brave giving you for double the ram?

i don’t think shield can be turned off @Screwdriver

@Mattches
I’m back at my office. I have tested what you requested as shown below:

Brave3

As you can see, there is only the default tab on each broswer and Brave uses almost the double of RAM as Chrome and more processes.
