Problem: When the Brave Wallet is in use ( wallet unlocked and in use with defi platforms, or just using it in the browser) system resources such as CPU and Memory are getting overloaded…taking up to 60%+ of CPU resources for example for sustained periods. I Have even clocked Brave taking up to 100% of system resources. I have tested this on multiple computers and isolated it to when the Brave wallet is in use by watching the system resources in the Task Manager “Processes” Tab.
Version 1.39.111, with WIndows 10
Here is just one example …only have Brave tab open…yet there are 12 Brave processes running taking up 60%+ of resources with this snapshot…it spiked up to 100 multiple times too.
Watch the system resources and you fan when you have your wallet unlocked and are trying to connect to defi sites like traderjoe, Yeti, Benqi etc.
Not sure if it’s a Brave issue, just going by your screenshot its showing 90% CPU, but Brave is only using 13.1%. Given the amount of processes, 13.1 is pretty decent, but I would expect the cpu usage it to vary. Just seems something else is hogging your CPU
Think that was just a bad snap/delay. I posted a new one. Tested on multiple computers…it’s definitely something with Brave that’s kicking it into high gear. Didn’t have this issue before the update either.
If anyone is on Avalanche…go to Yeti Finance and connect your wallet and watch your CPU max out…
WIll give it a try…where do I actually type that in? Have overload issue with a almost every Avalanche defi site though…Yeti just seemed to be the worst.
With ##[data-testid="SnowfallCanvas"] in brave://adblock Just to show “Snow”. Note this impacts Chrome also, not strictly a Brave issue. I’ll see if I can reach out too Yeti
Yep that’s what I can’t figure out. That was a fresh start…complete reboot. The same thing is happening on my desktop computer too that runs windows 11
Oh yeah… that is my setting that I’ve hard…reconfirmed just now. I was just saying the I closed down, rebooted, went back intro Brave, and that CPU usage/process count was what I was seeing.
I’ve only ever had one tab open through all of this.
Connected with Metamask via chrome it’s no problem:
Not sure…very frustrating though! It’s definitely triggered by the wallet being “live” aka as soon as I sign into my wallet…CPU resources start spiking. Guess I am surprised that nobody else has this issue? I am experiencing the same thing on my personal laptop, desktop, and work laptop.
Is there an easy way to go back to the previous version of Brave to see if I have the same issue? What would the steps be to downgrade?
Did some more testing…it looks like the latest update has done something to trigger Malewarebytes and ESET node when Brave browser is spun up and the wallet is signed into. Realize this might not be a common situation, but makes the wallet difficult for me to use and I’ve been a fan!
