Since the latest update to Brave, Amazon & YouTube pages fail to load completely, requiring clicking the reload icon. Same for many other major websites.

Expected result: Page not correctly rendered. Spinning hourglass displays where graphics boxes are left empty. Hardware acceleration is set to medium.
Brave Version( check About Brave): 187.190
Additional Information: Pressing Brave reload, loads the page correctly on the 2nd try.
Come again? There’s no detail slider in browsers, acceleration is either on or off, what do you mean by this exactly? (I also do not believe this is a graphics issue, it feels networking related.)
At this time, I am unable to reproduce the issue on the same version of Brave via Windows 11 25H2.
YouTube however is a known issue, it’s Google intentionally slowing down the site with adblockers, causing 10-15 second buffer lags that are artificial.
My setup is a Ryzen 5 8600G, 32GB RAM, and an RX 7900 XT, an all AMD system similar to you.
Since a refresh works, this makes me feel like there’s connectivity issues (but could be an extension as well, VPN or DNS setting within the browser as well, anything network related). Can you get a screenshot of some sites (not YouTube since that one is known) not working such as Amazon?
Sorry, I meant that the Memory Saver was set to balanced, there are possible 3 settings. Graphics acceleration is also on. I have not changed these settings since I started using Brave several years ago.
See attached example above of what I am seeing on Amazon. Now if I click reload I get a normal Amazon webpage. This just started happening after either a recent Brave update and or a Windows update on or about: February 13, 2026—KB5075912 (OS Builds 19045.6937 and 19044.6937) - Windows 10 Secure Boot certificate expiration fix. These certificates expire in early June. I don’t see how this could affect Brave’s rendering. I am not seeing this issue in Chrome. I deleted Edge from my Windows 10 OS over a year ago. This is an intermittent, but recurring failure to render webpage issues. It occurs on many major websites. My ISP download speed is 500 Mbits/Sec. Thanks for your assistance. - Bill
Not related in any way, that only affects the bootloader itself, and even though they expired, they weren’t “revoked”, meaning they actually still work. (Websites and YouTubers have failed to mention that aspect, that they won’t actually stop working unless revoked by vendors and/or Microsoft, and that likely won’t happen due to GPU GOP firmware also being signed).
You have extensions installed, and since I did mention that and network connectivity issues, I’m seeing the websites CSS fail to load. What extensions do you have installed? I highly suggest trying a new profile in Brave to see if it works, as that will immediately point to settings/extensions real fast if a new profile just works.
