Description of the issue: Freezing and super slow when trying to navigate any pages
How can this issue be reproduced? Yes on Amazon, X, HomeDepot
- Open any website
- Try to click on a link, or next page
Expected result: I go to click on something and the page moves and I end up clicking on something else. I try to go to the next page and it clicks on an item. I try to like something in X and it freezes for a few seconds. Has been happening for about two weeks now.
Brave Version( check About Brave): 1.78.97
Additional Information: I have tested on Edge and it does not do this. My net is good with no packet loss when doing a ping test. Also download is at 2067 and upload at 1990
Can you please try opening a guest profile window (Menu --> More tools --> Guest profile), closing your original profile window, and try browsing in the guest profile and tell me if you see the same behavior?
That totally fixed it. It is super fast now. How can I do this without having to open a new guest profile?
@TDiehl this points to the issue being associated with your main profile. I would recommend disabling any extensions you have installed, then testing to see if one of them was causing the issue.
Okay thank you. I will test it out. I only have two. Thank you
I had three and disabled them all and still freezing on me. Any other thing I should check?
So the next step would either be uninstalling the extensions entirely to test and see if simply having them installed was causing the issue.
If you don’t want to do that (or if you do and it doesn’t help) then the next step I’d recommend after that would be clearing out your browsing data (Settings --> History --> Delete browsing data). I would start by deleting Cached images and files and Cookies and Site data and test again and see if this makes any difference.
Yeah I have done the history, cookies and cashe. I hate doing that because it always wants me to “verify” the new machine, but I will give this a try. I uninstalled what I had so far it is not freezing so thank you so much! You are awesome
