Description of the issue:
I’ve been using Brave as my main browser on Windows desktop for more than a year. A few weeks ago I did an update to the latest version, and immediately Brave began stalling for up to a minute every time I open most of my banking web sites, on the login prompt page. I get several “Site not responding, want to wait?” messages in a row before it finally wakes up and proceeds normally to let me log in. I can see in the Windows task manager that one Brave process is using one CPU core 100% for that entire time.
How can I find out what Brave is doing for that 30-60 seconds of maxed-out CPU to begin diagnosing the problem?
How can this issue be reproduced?
Example:
https://www1.bmoharris.com/www/#/login
results in 30-second stall with one CPU core maxed out on brave.exe before the web site responds.
Expected result:
Brave Version( check About Brave):
[
Version 1.44.105 Chromium: 106.0.5249.91 (Official Build) (64-bit)
(but the problem started on the previous version a few weeks earlier)
Additional Information:
It affects several banking web sites, and all were affected simultaneously with the Brave update.
Other web sites are fine, including secure sites where I log in with a password.
Other browsers are fine with those sites on the same desktop, no delay.
I have no browser add-ons.
It doesn’t affect the problem if I set Shields Down for the banking site.
It doesn’t matter if any other tabs are open.
Private browsing mode doesn’t help.
My anti-virus isn’t monitoring web access, but in any case turning it off doesn’t help.
