Description of the issue:
ISSUE 1: Brave browser is very slow while using YouTube on my PC. Sometimes, the screen goes black while watching Youtube videos. Switching to fullscreen mode takes like 6 to 7 seconds to go. Very slow while using Youtube overall

ISSUE 2: some websites do not work the way it supposed to. For example, https://tv.garden/ . This website works great while using it on other browsers like Microsoft Edge. We can rotate the earth and choose options easily in Microsoft Edge but it gets stuck while using it on Brave browser. We cannot rotate the earth and do other things

Exact URL of the website in question:
ISSUE 1: https://www.youtube.com/
ISSUE 2: https://tv.garden/

Did the issue present with default Shields settings? (yes/no)
Yes

Does the site function as expected when Shields are turned off?
No

Is there a specific Shields configuration that causes the site to break? If so, tell us that configuration. (yes/no):
No, it does not work even with default Shields configuration

Does the site work as expected when using Chrome?
have not tested on Chrome but both websites work great on Microsoft Edge

Brave version (check About Brave):
Version 1.78.102 Chromium: 136.0.7103.113 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Fist, I’ve never seen the https://tv.garden website before – super cool!

As for your issue, both sites work just fine for me on my end on macOS and Win11 systems. So lets start off by simply seeing if these sites run normally in a fresh profile for you. Can you please launch Brave and

  1. Click Menu --> More tools --> Add profile
  2. Create a fresh browser profile
  3. Close your original profile window (only the new prof. should be up)
  4. Visit youtube/tv.garden and test these sites in the fresh profile

@Mattches i created new profile but that did not solve the issue

Fortunately, I found the solution. It seems tv.garden website was not working properly because “Use graphics acceleration when available” was turned off in settings.

I turned off graphic acceleration before because i was facing display flickering issue on Brave Browser.
ANY SOLUTION TO USE BRAVE BROWSER WITHOUT FLICKERING ISSUE WHILE GRAPHIC ACCELERATRION IS ON???

@vishwanthS can you please ensure that your video card drivers are fully up to date?

Which GPU being used? HW Acceleration enabled would be ideal if wanting best performance.
