I couldn’t reproduce your issue. Are you able to reproduce the issue in other web browsers?

Try creating a fresh user profile we’ll use for testing purposes to verify whether the issue is related to your current user profile.

Create a new profile to help Troubleshoot

(authored by @sampson) For those impacted by performance and/or memory issues, here are a couple steps to take which will help us in helping you. As many here have stated, it’s good to disable extensions. Extensions are third-party applications; it’s entirely possible an extension could eat up tons of memory. By removing them from the equation, we greatly simplify the task of identifying the problem itself. Create a Testing Profile Testing with a private window is good, but this usually leave…

No, it works fine in other browsers. Can I share a video here? I also have a reddit post on Brave browsers reddit, where I 've shared a video.

r/brave_browser - Instead of going back one page, it goes home?? Please fix this...

Literally any help from your end would mean a lot. I’m new to this browser, I was on Edge before, so it may be something I don’t know about. Refer to the video please…

I saw the video, but in case you need to upload files here in the future, it’s done via the button from the screenshot below.

Anyway, follow the instructions from my previous post to create a fresh user profile so we can verify whether your issue is related to your current user profile.

I just joined the community, I can’t upload because I’m a new user.

I’ll try to make a new user profile. But this issue shouldn’t be here at the same time.

I can’t create a new user profile. Just try to recreate it. The video shows it all. It went away yesterday, but returned today.

Like I wrote in my first comment, I can’t reproduce your issue.

What prevents you from creating another user profile?

[aedynblayse]

Never mind, I figured it out. It was an extension on history autodelete that I was using. Thanks for your help.

That was literally the reason I asked you to create a fresh user profile. Newly created user profiles come extensions-free and have no stored browsing data. Extensions and browsing data could be the reason for variety of issues.

Anyway, glad to hear your issue is resolved.
