I’ve had to uninstall Brave It’s been working great since I got this new computer at the end of last year. I kept getting error messages about not enough memory, then it’d crash and grind my computer to a halt.
I only ever have a few tabs open at once. I’m just doing simple things like using Google Drive. I only have a few extensions. This has happened gradually more and more over the past couple of weeks and now it’s just stopped letting me even open one tab.
I’m on Windows 11. Chrome and Edge work fine and very fast so I know it’s something to do with Brave.
Sorry I’m not computer savvy, but here are my system details below. I’ve read other posts on a similar topic, which has prompted me to reinstall and send crash details to developers, but just doing that brought my computer to a standstill again.
When I open Task Manager, there are 20+ Brave things in there. Is that normal? Even when I shut Brave, there are still 6 or so lurking in there and I have to manually end each task in order to uninstall Brave.
If anyone has any ideas, I’d be really grateful.
