Description of the issue: Latest version of Brave using up to 30% CPU when interacting with the browser. How can this issue be reproduced? Be on Brave Nightly Update Reload Go to google.com for example and see the CPU usage go up, then down. Expected result: It not use as much CPU. Maybe 15% lik…

Try a new Brave profile, with no extensions. And/or private window mode in the current profile.

If it’s in a ‘Nightly’ build it might be wise to wait until another build becomes available, and if the issue persists in the next build, report it on GitHub (IMHO).

Hello. Long Time Brave user and only recently updated to the latest build. I held off for a while and immediately noticed the downgrade in performance. Reading a lot of this thread I disabled HA and all my extensions and that has kept my CPU usage down. It does spike depending on the website, mostl…

Its not a “Brave browser issue”, Some extensions will change over time (various updates or no updates) and will impact performance. Ideally testing a clean browser profile, then testing the various websites. Which will give you a base line, then enable one extension at a time. Hardware accelerati…

I also noticed the same problem compared to previous versions, the amount of lag and performance degradation is insane. Graphics rendering is so slow and the longer you use brave the slower performance it gets. I refreshed and made a new profile which helped but after a few hours of use the laggy pe…

I can confirm the same problem. Almost 100% of CPU is used with only one tab opened with any website. Problem is mainly in incognito mode. At first problem was only on Brave Nightly, but now, the same thing is on Brave Beta (also incognito window). At the moment that browser (except stable release) …

Going through previous Nightly versions. Can this be confirmed? Nightly v1.33.37 (Bad) Nightly v1.33.28 (Bad) Nightly v1.33.19 (Bad) Nightly v1.33.9 (Bad) Nightly v1.33.6 (Bad) Nightly v1.33.3 (Bad) Nightly v1.33.2 (Good) Nightly v1.33.1 (Good) @nqsfpd @flasher777 @ZCowa If …

I’m getting this on the Brave Beta build too - happening only with Private tabs however I’m still getting awful rendering and response times for the normal browser.

I haven’t check Beta, I’ll check later though. Just takes time to check many versions, probably related to Nightly?
