Additional Information: Whenever I go to open a new tab, it opens the tab but than hangs for a good 10-15 seconds before I can use the tab, either typing in address, pasting in address or clicking a bookmark in toolbar.
I’ve tried removing ALL tools including “Show Background Image” but it still hangs.
When I open a new Brave window, it loads my home page INSTANTLY, but if I try to open a new tab it does the hang thing!
Almost unusable. Any way to set a home page for new tabs?
I’m having exact same problem. I also am running newest build with Windows 10 64bit. New tab takes about 8 secs to load. That’s not going to work. They need to fix it because I have begun updating my Firefox just in case. I will not accept this kind of lag so they can push their Binance widget.
I have running Windows 10 64-bit v 1903 on Intel I-5 / 8GB RAM / 256GB SSD.
When I open Brave or open new tab while Brave is running, it opens quickly, as usual, and the home tab shows quickly, the top sites icons are blank. Brave will not respond for up to 10 secs.
Brave version - [Version 1.8.90 Chromium: 81.0.4044.129 (Official Build) (64-bit)]
I have tried:
Clearing settings at the bottom of Advanced Settings.
Uninstalled / reinstalled with a clear all data option.
Installed Brave Beta version 1.9.5.1.
Disabled / uninstalled Extensions.
When I installed the beta it was better for a few times, but has the same problems.
When I open Brave CPU jumps from 5% to ~70%, floats between 40 and 55% for that time, until Brave responds, then drops down near where it was before I opened Brave.
The same/similar situation at me.

I am on Wondows X Home ver. 1909 build 18363.778

I am also experiencing the same difficulty. Except, it takes up to 20-seconds for the New Tab to render. I started experiencing this problem two upgrades ago. I was hoping with the last upgrade that it would be resolved. However, that has not happened.

Just like “dmuma” I also attempted removing ALL tools including the, “Show Background Image.” However, that did not cease the delay when opening a New Tab.
Is this due to the BINANCE WIDGET?
If it is, then someone did not fully test that new widgets functionally out.
How does one disable and/or make the BINANCE widget non-functional?
I am a new Brave user, and this issue is swiftly becoming a dealbreaker for me. I have removed everything removable from the New Tab page, but it STILL hangs when opening, even though there is nothing on it but the settings icons at the bottom right.
I had to set to Brave open to my search engine page, though I’d rather open to whatever I was doing before, but that means if I was doing nothing, I am once again at the time-sucking new tab page.
Frankly, I hate the new tab page, see no reason for it, and wish there was an option to simply turn it off and open instead to whatever I set as my home page. If I don’t see that change soon, I’m out of here. This is coming up many times an hour, and I switched browsers to reduce frustration, not to encounter it in new and different forms.
There are others just like it but this one was mentioned elsewhere and it works great. Instant tabs. Fixes the problem until hopefully Brave decides to do it themselves.
