Sections of browser freezing while using

Description of the issue: Random sections of the screen will freeze well updating
How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Scroll through different websites at a normal speed (maybe 10+ tabs open?)
  2. Random sections of screen will freeze while the page is staying updated

Expected result: You can click through or type on the sections before they unfreeze but visually it is annoying as hell

**Brave Version ( latest)v1.75.181 **

**Additional Information: Thanks for the help Love the app use it on all devices **

Please edit your Original Post (“OP”) above, to include:

  • Operating System version numbers
  • Description of the system video device (Nvidia etc., for example)

Please DISABLE the Brave Browser Graphics Acceleration.

Test your issue.


Also test, by reducing the number of Tabs ← one-at-a-time.

Also test, by starting with only one Tab, and increase the Tab load ← one-at-a-time.


Other tests:

A. Disable ALL extensions added by the user. “ALL” means all of them, added by the user ← who sometimes will cling to some extensions, and thus fail to properly test the issue.

Then test the issue without such extensions.

Then test the issue, with each extension individually enabled - no combinations of enabled extensions . . . while trying to find the troublemakers (if any).

After those tests, exit / quit Brave Browser, and then . . .


B. Launch Brave, go to Menu --> More tools --> Add profile and create a new browser profile (this will not overwrite the user’s current profile, and the user is free to delete the new profile after testing).

Close the user’s original profile window so only the new profile window is open.

Test the issue.
