Page gets snapped


Sometimes the page becomes unresponsive and even the cursor doesn’t work while watching YouTube and online classes (WebEx website) infact the laptop itself slows down
I have disabled hardware acceleration

I use pop os and version 1.23.73

Have you tried with latest version brave.com/latest ? And see if it’s still an issues?

Is there any command other than sudo apt upgrade ( to update every thing ) on linux because this command is not updating brave to the latest version

Tagging @Mattches @fmarier for additional assistance as I’m not using Linux.

Did you upgrade your version of Pop OS recently by any chance? When upgrading to a new OS version, the installer disables all third-party repositories and they need to be re-enabled manually after the upgrade.

To re-enable the repository, you can simply go through the installation instructions again. After that, apt upgrade will update Brave for you (at the same time as the system packages).

I did not update Pop OS , the last update was released in October 2020

Ok, well I would still suggest you run through the installation steps again to make sure that the repository is correctly setup.

Once you’ve done that, tell me the output of these two commands:

dpkg -l brave-browser
sudo apt update && sudo apt install brave-browser

Hey so should I delete brave browser and install it again ? If yes won’t my bookmarks and saved passwords get deleted

No need to delete Brave and try again. Just follow the steps again and it will ensure the repository is correctly configured.

Either way, your settings, bookmarks and passwords are stored in your home directory (under ~/.config/BraveSoftware/) and so as long as you don’t manually delete this directory (removing the brave-browser package won’t do this automatically) then you won’t lose anything.

I ran all the commands present here
and then ran “sudo apt upgrade”
and this is the response I got after running the other 2 commands
