I am using an Arch-based system and any chromium based browser underperforms in everything compared to Windows when using brave and other chromium-based browsers, particularly when scrolling through some websites that have got more content in it.
https://linuxconfig.org/benchmark-your-graphics-card-on-linux This particular website lags a lot on Linux but runs smoothly on Windows.
I have an integrated Intel HD graphics card. I have done two graphics tests using the phoronix-test-suite and the first one was very similar (Windows did better by 0.5 fps than Linux) but with the second graphics test Linux excelled by a few frames more than Windows.
I typed chrome://gpu/ on brave and this has outputted some informaiton. I am not too sure if this is helpful or not but I was wondering if I can get help to resolve such issues please.

Is there something i need to install or something to help accelerate the performance of brave?
If the log is hard to read, I have made a document which makes it easier to read it as all the formatting of the document (such as bold text etc) has been copied over to the document.
