Description of the issue: In the last week or so, I start brave (fresh Windows session) and it appears to start normally. But when I try to enter an address, the entire browser locks up. I cannot resize it, select new-tab, or pull down any menus. This state lasts for 15 to 30 seconds before it func…

I was just able to repro with 1.71. But it might be a different problem. New tab, select address bar, try to type, locked up for about 15 seconds. If I select a different tab I can interact within the tab but going back to the new tab will cause a 15 second lock up. Version 1.71.104 Chromium: 129…

@yngwe , Thank you for the repo steps. I suspect that this issue will be resolved when the current Beta version (1.71.x) gets pushed to release, which should be this Thursday. Once you update the stable build to 1.71.x on Thursday, if you are still seeing this issue please let me know and we will op…

What is up with this release? I still struggle with this issue and i still see only 1.70.x in the about brave screen.

I have now installed version 1.71.114 of Brave. However, I still have the problem that Brave freezes when I click the address bar. Is this problem still pending with the developers?

I encountered the issue again in 1.71.114 Chromium: 130.0.6723.58 (Officiell version) (64 bitar) same repro as above: copy files in CLion/IntelliJ then closing the program, Brave deadlocks when I click on the address bar. I cannot repro using other applications such as Dolphin though. But I don’t …

This has been happening to me for weeks as well (typing anything into a new tab). Fresh installs, clearing profiles, etc makes no difference. Multiple machines (no syncing), doesn’t matter. It comes and goes without warning (and seems to hit/resolve all machines in question at the same time. Whi…

I’m happy to open an issue for this but it isn’t going to be an easy one to solve, given that nobody has any steps to reproduce and the problem itself is entirely erratic — some users are still seeing it but only seeing it sometimes, other times it works perfectly. For other users, it appears to be …

Same issue here. Have disabled hardware acceleration, removed all my history, disabled URL lookups and suggestions, no change. The wait, for me, is variable. When I open a new tab, put the cursor in the URL, and start typing, what I type will appear anywhere between 30-100 seconds. The Brave pro…

Is there a solution for this yet? I’m so tired of this, I’m about ready to switch to Firefox. I love Brave but not this much.

I still have the problem with Version 1.71.118. However i noticed it is only happening when another software Citrix Workspace / Desktop Viewer is running. Do you guys who have this problem run this software? Or noticed that the issue is there only when a certain software is running?
