I’m a new-ish (3+ month) Brave user and am generally a huge fan, but each time I update to the latest version of brave, I encounter a hanging / freezing issue, typically triggered when / if I try to copy / paste either from Brave or into Brave, but shortly following an update, lots of simple actions (opening a new tab) can also cause it to hang … The issue will generally resolve itself if I update overnight and let my machine “rest” or restart, but pops up each time I update to the latest version of the browser and is very close to rendering Brave unusable for me.
I can reproduce the issue, having just updated to the latest version of Brave, by simply trying to copy text within a browser window, or paste into a browser window or URL bar.
Brave Version( 1.78.97): 136.1.78.97 (178.97)
Happy to provide more from the Error Logs, if this is helpful.
