Description of Issue
The progress spinner on the tab completes and displays the favicon and title, but there’s a 4 second delay before the page renders.
Did the issue present with default Shields settings? [Default states are: Block: Ads/Trackers, 3rd Party Cookies, 3rd Party Fingerprinting Allow: Encrypt Connections enabled (HTTPS), Scripts] (yes/no)
Yes
Does the site function as expected when Shields are turned off? (yes/no)
Yes. It’s much faster with Shields off.
Does the site function as expected when using Chrome? (yes/no)
Yes. Using Chrome or Firefox with uBlock and DuckDuckGo extensions, the page loads quickly.
What Operating System and Brave version/Build are you using when you encounter the issue?(See the About Brave page in the main menu)
Windows 10
Brave Version 0.63.55 Chromium: 74.0.3729.131 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Note that it happens on all pages of this site, not just the homepage.
I have also noticed that the hyperlinks are actually created before anything is visible (hovering over them shows the tooltip, cursor, address). So you can click on nothing and end up being navigated.
