Infinity load in random pages ( ⇦ Slow loading or No loading)

Came here to also report the same problem on M1 macbook air, macos 12.4

Has been occurring since updating to Brave version 1.39.111. All Brave shields are off. I only use uBlock Origin as an extension, and the slow loading still happens when it is disabled.

The slow loading happens especially often with Google searches and when opening websites in new tabs. It doesn’t load unless I press the refresh button

Have the same problem, it has been occuring for the past week and I’m having to resort to other browsers so I don’t have to keep refreshing.

I’ve noticed that I don’t appear to have this issue when using a second (etc.) profile. Has anybody tried that?

This also happens in a second profile. Tested in my installation with the same issue.

y’all can just go back to the previous update. I am too lazy to do it, visit github and you will be able to do it.

That is not a solution, is a workaround… and not a safe one, since the new versions also include important security updates.

Not just a Mac issue. Same problems plus more on Linux Mint 20.3. Reload issue + tabs closing themselves and random links getting loaded without clicking them. It’s bad enough that I simply can’t use it anymore. I’m going to downgrade right now. I can’t believe this isn’t being addressed by the devs yet.

Good point… :slight_smile:
Im in Windows and experience this, so is not something OS related…

I don’t think this problem can be solved by us. I think we should file a bug report or contact the devs

Is done, lets see now: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/23187

I think is really something in the latest builds. Beta version appears to be fine.
Only appears in stable.

No, same problem in beta

Edit:
Just installed Beta 1.40.83. Seems like the problem is solved

Edit 2:
Okay, still issues with some pages. But Google Search results now open more reliable

Thanks for reporting the bug/ok letting me know that it’s reported.

I recently downgraded to the previous version and for the love of God don’t know what’s happening with my browser. The problems persist. I don’t know what’s happening.

Maybe downgrade to a version where the issue is still present?

Try go back a little more. :slight_smile:

I guess, I will wait it out @djprmf

Using Chromium now, will jump back once everything is normal.

Brave support got back to me on twitter. They said it’s been passed to the right team & they’re looking into it. So hopefully there’s a fix relatively soon!

Good to know. Thanks for the update. Thought I was losing my mind. Glad to see I’m not alone.

Same result. I’ve turned off fingerprinting and every other Shield-related setting and I have the same exact problem still. I’ve also been running it since before the problem started occurring.

I’m using Linux and getting it, too. I’m also using MX Linux with the same kernel version and same Brave version.
