Brave optimization for slow computers

Hello, Brave.
I just downloaded brave on a 19-year-old computer running Linux Mint. I downloaded Brave for its integrated adblocking and privacy features, with Leo as a perk. When I opened brave for the first time, i realized I would do better going back to Firefox for one big reason: the New Tab had blur features in it.
My computer struggles to play Geometry Dash at 60 fps, it will not like having to render blur in a web browser. My fps drops significantly when I am in the new tab. I have combed the settings for an optimizer to no avail. Could someone on the dev team add one switch to the System tab in the settings that disables blur elements (and other optimizers) in Brave?
Thank you.

Is it using GPU/HW acceleration? brave://gpu/
