Browser Freezes - Cannot type or click

Description of the issue: I’m having an issue where the browser freezes. I can click through tabs, and scroll. But I cannot click on anything or type anything.

How can this issue be reproduced? It happens randomly 2/3 times a week. It’s not an easily repeatable issue.

Computer version:

Hello! Do you have hardware acceleration enabled? If so, can you disable it and let me know if you see an improved experience. Thanks!

It was enabled, I have turned it off. If it doesn’t happen again within the week, then I’d say that’s the solution. Thanks!

this isn’t the solution because I’ve tested both graphics acceleration on/off on my macbook air m1 and have the same exact problem. I get a beachball and pages freeze for a few seconds before coming back to life.

this is either a brave or chromium problem, because it occurs for me on my windows PC as well.

I’m on a Macbook Pro M3. I actually don’t get the spinning ball error, it just freezes. Though I haven’t had the issue since I turned acceleration off. I haven’t used an M1 Macbook Air, but Air’s are not known for their processing speed, so that may be a factor in the issue that you’re experiencing. However, that is definitely a different issue.
