Brave freezes at launch

Feedback Nightly Builds
1

Bad freezing bug at launch.
I switched to nightly, because of a known problem the release has, that the nightly didn’t.
It was great for a while, but the bug is now in the last few nightly releases.
I have reported it in the help feedback menu, but a new release today, and not fixed.

At launch, Brave hangs/freezes up for a full minute or two.
I am unable to select and use the address bar, or favorites in the toolbar.
I can access the menu items, and open and close browser windows, but they remain locked up.
After quite a bit of time, it finally becomes usable.

Well, another update, and no fix.
It was fine maybe 3-5 updates ago.
This is the only reason I was using Nightly, was to work-around this bug.
Now the bug has been migrated to Nightly.

Yet another update, and no fix.

Finally!
I quit posting, because it was still broken with every update, until now.
It’s finally fixed with this update, so whatever it was, it’s fixed again.
Hopefully, it will stay that way.
