Brave browser render - Brave using up 14GB of RAM!

Despite being on the new newest macbook air and with 16GB RAM - it is still struggling to run Brave browser. After only 1 month of using the new computer - I am always at nearly 14 GB out of 16 GB RAM - nearly all because of Brave, making my computer nearly un-usable. I do not game or video edit or do anything that demands RAM - I nearly only use email and brave browser on my computer.

This issue has been reported by multiple other people before since 2019. The Brave support staff on this form suggested the below - but I can no longer find below option on the brave browser. Perhaps you can send screenshot on how to find:

Can you try disabling Hardware Acceleration in settings to see if this resolves the issue?

You’ll find this in Settings --> Additional Settings --> System --> Hardware Acceleration
