Description of the issue:
It happens very randomly. I have checked task manager and I don’t see any bottlenecking during this freezing when web pages show as blank. There is no 100% cpu, nor gpu, nor max ram usage (no memory leak). It just randomly freezes for a minute and then unfreezes, sometimes it shows “Page unresponsive”.
This doesn’t happen on firefox browser. Only on Brave and I also noticed on Chrome Dev browser (which only has uBlock extension) - at the same time .
It’s been happening for months, since about January/February 2025.
System specs:
- Lenovo laptop with an external display
- All the latest drivers
- 13th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i5-13450HX (Brave uses integrated GPU)
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU
- 28 GB RAM
How can this issue be reproduced?
- It can’t be reproduced, it happens very randomly.
Expected result:
Obviously - not freezing. Smooth operation of the web browser.

LatencyMon:
I’ve run it previously for hours while waiting for Brave to freeze and I couldn’t catch any specific spikes during that moment.
