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
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.
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.
Same I did try also with downloading beta but fresh new installation of beta on windows and same problem on main browser not loading pages only few of them.
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!
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.
