Log in to an account.
Go to any films page
Click “Review or Log”

Page is unusably slow.
Expected result:
Page functions smoothly. Reproduces how often:
Every time I try. Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):
Windows 11
Thanks for checking. Not seeing any performance issues with Letterboxd on my end on either macOS or Windows systems.
Have you checked to see whether or not turning Shields down for the site makes any difference? I’d also be interested to know if the site functions normally in the Private window.
@Toastdispenser wondering if maybe it’s caused by an extension you have installed?
We can test that and any issues with your current profile by creating a new browser profile and testing letterboxd behavior there. Can you please
Launch Brave, go to Menu --> More tools --> Add profile and create a new browser profile (this will not overwrite your current profile and you’re free to delete it after testing)
Close your original profile window so only the new profile window is open
Visit letterboxd in the new profile and test to see if you get the same behavior
@Toastdispenser at a bit of a loss here, especially if a new profile and un/reinstall didn’t change anything.
It could be a Graphics Acceleration issue but that seems unlikely. Can you try toggling it off to check and see if this helps at all? You’ll find the setting in Brave in Settings --> System --> Use Graphics Acceleration when available
