Description of the issue: Lagging/Freezing of Brave on iGPU
How can this issue be reproduced?
-
Use brave on device with iGPU (see my specs below), enable hardware accelerator
-
Observe the lagging behaviour, (you can also compare it to other browsers e.g. chromium or Firefox. The other browsers have issue at all with using iGPU.
Expected result: There should be no lagging whatsoever.
**Brave Version( check About Brave):**Brave Browser 139.1.81.135

Edit:
Adding here a few sources:
There seems to be a config file in mesa driver that omits brave from including whereas all the other working browsers are included: see [here](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/blob/main/src/util/00-mesa-defaults.conf)
