Brave is running very poorly for me

For some time now, and for no apparent reason, Brave has started performing VERY badly. Everything I do in Brave is extremely slow: opening pages and waiting for them to load so I can use them, video or live stream loading, which takes at least 30 seconds just for the page to load, and then more time for the video or stream to start playing. Even when it does load, the video itself (what’s being played) takes forever to sync with the audio—either the audio gets choppy, or the video does.
If I switch to another tab while something is playing on the “main” tab, it stops playing or the sound cuts out completely.

It’s not my PC because I’ve already deleted most of my files (thinking that was the problem), cleared the cache, contacted Windows technical support, and even wiped Brave’s history, but nothing has solved the issue.

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me because I genuinely like Brave and don’t want to switch browsers.

Please edit your Original Post (“OP”), above, to include:

  • Brave Browser version
  • Computing device’s Operating System

If using a desktop or laptop computer . . .

Be Prepared

In a Brave Browser New Window, go to:

brave://net-internals/#dns

Click on Clear host cache

Next, same window, select “Sockets” on the left.

Click Close idle sockets

Click Flush socket pools

Quit everything and Restart your computer.

Clear cookies, cache, history, etc.

In a Brave Browser New Window, go to:

brave://settings/clearBrowserData

Select the Advanced tab

Set Time range to “All time”

ENABLE everything except:

  • Passwords and other sign-in data

(Myself, I would NOT make that exception)
(because I would have a backup prepared.)
(In other words, be prepared.)

Click on the “Clear data” button
