Lately Brave has become a major CPU hog. (Version 0.67.125 Chromium: 76.0.3809.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)) Even if only one tab is opened, there are 12-15 instances in task manager, and the task manager (Windows 10 Pro, 64 bit) shows "very high"usage. It does not seem to matter what pages are opened. Any ideas on how to correct this?

## Thanks in advance.
