It took a while for the heat to build up before I noticed the burning smell. I use liquid cooling. Anyways, this isn’t a problem on a different browser like Microsoft Edge. Hardware acceleration was disabled in Brave.

  1. Update to the latest brave version.
  2. Test in private window mode.

≡ → More Tools → Task Manager (shows a more accurate usage of task usage)

Due to the animations on screen i’m getting beteen 8-18 CPU usage. Nothing like 100% here.
