I think this may possibly be related specifically to Twitter when using Brave. After seeing it mentioned in another thread here (Brave 1.18.75 and RAM issue) I decided to check whether my issues were isolated to just twitter and they do seem to be. I’ve read other threads and seen suggestions to disable hardware acceleration as well as use a “testing profile” that’s brand new with no extensions installed which I did. I logged into twitter and opened up the first 15 or so posts on my timeline into tabs and almost immediately after doing so my PC became unstable from the spike in PC usage to the point I had to close Brave through the task manager. I also tried doing the same thing in Chrome and took screenshots of the in-app task manager as well as the Windows task manager to compare. The CPU usage shown in Chrome is after the tabs have loaded and nothing is really happening and was normal PC usage with Brave up until recently, too, Brave just doesn’t really settle now and instead freezes until my PC crashes.
If this doesn’t get any traction I’ll try starting a new thread that’s specific to problems with Twitter.
