I’ve been using Brave for several years now and i’ts easily become my favorite browser. I’ve also been an extremely heavy on-chain crypto user for the past 3 years (50,000+ transactions) and Brave has never failed me before…
However, suddenly as of about a week ago Brave only loads about 25% of the decentralized applications (dapps) that I need to visit and connect my web3 wallets to. It loads “regular” webpages just fine. This has significantly slowed down my workflow as some open on my desktop, some open on my laptop (which also uses Brave and faces the same issues but has a slightly higher success rate at about 33%) and some dapps I have to used on my phone. Even when circulating between all 3 i’m still only at about a 50% hit rate whereas before I was at 100% on my desktop alone. Certainly frustrating.
Over the past 7 days i’ve restarted my computer countless times, applied all computer updates, hard closed Brave via task manager and background processes, ensured my Brave browser is on the latest version, turned off shields, turned off ad blocking, cleared cache and cookies and all history in advanced settings, turned off gpu rendering, and nothing worked.
The only thing I haven’t yet tried is deleting and re-installing Brave, but i’m afraid that i’ll lose all of my windows and tabs (i’m one of those people with 15 windows each with 20+ tabs and manually adding those back will be a huge pain and is why that’s a big deal for me).
Any insight into how to fix this would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
**Expected result: Being able to load 100% of any decentralized application (dapp) that I visit which I was able to do for years up until about 7 days ago.
