Preformance Issues

[clap]

Description of the issue: I recently formatted my pc and i reinstalled brave and everything was fine but i realized brave is so laggy on sites it shouldnt be laggy on. For example on https://nitrotype.com it is so laggy almost unplayable and im not sure why. As well as https://monkeytype.com and the list goes on. How can i fix this? (PS. those sites worked complelty fine before i reset my pc.
How can this issue be reproduced? N/A

Expected result: N/A

Brave Version( check About Brave): Version 1.37.116

Additional Information: I have tried Brave Beta and it didnt fix any problem i also tried disabling Hardware Accerlation same issues.

Disabling hardware acceleration may make it feel more laggy, since it won’t use your GPU.

What does ≡ → Task manager show? Can you also test private window mode?

Hello,

I recently had a similar issue. If you are by chance using an Nvidia card try a reset of its global settings on the Nvidia control panel and make sure background application max frame rate is off. I was able to trace my own performance problems back to that particular setting after the recent update.

My GPU Process goes to 400% CPU and NItroType uses 13% CPU. Private window makes it even worse.

I have an AMD Card. I tried looking for any framerate limits on the AMD app and i didnt find any.

@clap Don’t know if these will help or not, just something else you might want to try if you haven’t already and are still experiencing issues.

Sluggish Since Last Update with Some Sites Freezing Completely

Hi Go to brave://settings/clearBrowserData Clear browsing history, images and cache. Open Command prompt as administrator then flush DNS by entering ipconfig /flushdns Restart machine If you still have issue with https://help.obsidian.md/How+to/Format+your+notes disable Brave shield.

Thank you, @CerealLover. Switching the fingerprint blocking from strict to standard seems to have done the trick. I’m just don’t know why, or what’s changed in the latest update to cause that. It’s never happened before. Nonetheless, it resolves my issue here. Thanks again.

Brave is very slow. Hardware Acceleration already turned off

The HW acceleration is no different with other Chromium browsers, it’ll depend on the graphics driver (AMD and Intel drivers seem more problematic). My home machine is using a Nvidia 2080S, and had no issues with YT playback. May help for some users.
