Description of the issue: New tabs consistently do not load. Opening second tab at the same URL will trigger the first tab to load.
How can this issue be reproduced?
Open New Tab - Enter URL into navbar
The Network Tab, in the Developer Console, shows the request as (Pending) status.
a. I’ve tested as long as 30 minutes and the request never times out and continues to show the loading icon in the tab with New Tab label
b. Refreshing the page does no action or loads the New Tab page
c. Re-entering the URL into the navbar and typing Enter restarts the process.
Open a second tab - Enter the same URL into the Navbar
First tab will initiate the GET request for the page content. Second tab will not load the requested page content and be (Pending) status
Expected result:
Open New Tab - Enter URL into navbar
GET request is initiated immediately and page loads normally
Brave Version( v1.79.119 MacOS ):
Additional Information: This issue is not URL specific and requests to any URL when opening a new tab can product this issue. It’s not 100% of the time but it’s as often as 75% of the time when opening a new tab. This issue has been persistent for a couple of months. I keep hoping a new version will fix the issue but it has not and I have not been able to find another Community article on this issue.
I think this may be specific to your setup. Do you have any extensions installed in the browser at this time? On my end I cannot reproduce his issue using macOS. Tabs/new tabs/duplicate tabs all load normally as expected.
Same issue and workaround (opening the second tab)
1.80.122 Chromium: 138.0.7204.157 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Windows 11 Version 24H2 (Build 26100.4652)
This issue has been happening for at least 1 month. It doesn’t appear to be pure system related, as I use Firefox as well, and it hasn’t run into this issue.
Extensions
A custom v2 extension (applies to a specific domain got internal use)
I’ve had this issue for at least 4 months. Opening a second tab always makes the first one load. During the same time I’ve never experienced this with any other Chromium browser. No idea how to trigger the behavior, but when it starts happening excessively (every single tab to a new host hangs) restarting the browser fixes it all temporarily.
