I have noticed a large lag on my system while using Brave. I have significant keyboard stuttering that is driving me crazy. I can sometimes wait 5-10 seconds before characters appear after I’ve typed them, assuming they appear at all. Sometimes it just freezes and I have to wait before I can type again. I looked at the task manager and saw that Brave was taking up a lot of memory and was wondering if this might be the problem.
I set up Brave and Chrome, side by side, with the same extensions, same number of tabs open and same websites being viewed in three tabs.
How can this issue be reproduced?
- The three extra extensions that I use are Bitmoji, Stickypassword, and Honey
- I have an HP Spectre x360 with 16GB RAM, which is less than a year old.
**Brave’s numbers are worse than chrome, and I still have no idea if the keyboard stuttering has anything to do with it at all. **
