Description of the issue:
Sometimes my laptop fans start running hard, upon checking htop, I see two out of four brave threads are taking up 97%. Is there any way I can figure out what exactly its doing, or why this is happening? Are there specific tabs or smth, or how can I prevent this
Expected result:
To not take up so much CPU resources
Brave Version( check About Brave):
Latest PopOS (Ubuntu 20.04) version
That’s pretty neat, thanks. Although it doesn’t really explain it yet.
If you check the images, you see that the Brave task manager says very little resources are used, but htop thinks differently about that unfortunately…
Moreso, I can’t even find the PIDs htop is giving back in the task manager of brave
@Davincible,
I’m not entirely clear myself on why the browser has the issues it does with HWA. It is a common issue though and the devs have been looking into it. In the interim, if you don’t need HWA enabled I would just keep it off – you shouldn’t notice any real difference in browser performance.
