Hello,
Over the last week, I’ve noticed that web pages take much longer to load on Brave (Windows v1.41.100 - July 21st, 2022). In some instances, I stare at my monitor for nearly a minute while the pages load. My recently tested internet speed is >400 Mbps down and > 20 Mbps up, but browsing makes it seem like my connction is running at 2 Mbnps.
Is anyone else experiencing similar slow loading times?
TIA,
Umrk
@Umrk,
This could be a lot of things — first thing you might try is clearing your cache/browsing data and see if this helps the browser move along more quickly.
If that doesn’t work I would try disabling any extensions you have installed at this time and see if that makes any difference.
Let me know if nether of the above works.
Hello Mattches,
I aleady cleard the browser’s cache, but wILL try diabling the extentions as you suggested. I will report back should I identify the reason behind the Browser’s sluggishness. I did not consider the effect the recent update may have had on the extensions I am using.
Thank you ,
Umrk
Keep in mind that extensions update, too, and sometimes introduce their own problems and bugs.
Let us know how it works out!
Yeah, same here. It used to work better than other browsers but you know, these update maker, eventually they are habitual of making a mess of a fine working browser.
In follow-up to my OP, I disabled each of the three extensions I use, one at a time, and was not able to identify the cause of Brave’s noticeable slowdown in loading web pages. Brave runs the same with no extensions enabled. Therefore, I will be switching to Tor until this issue is resolved. At this point, Tor runs a little faster than the version of Brave I’m using (which is astonishing) and extensions to ensure privacy and block trackers aren’t necessary.
