Description of the issue: As the title says, any video stream on Brave will cause screen tearing. I’ve tested it on other browsers, and the problem isn’t there. It’s been happening for the last 3 versions or so, I’ve never had this kind of problem before.
How can this issue be reproduced?
Open any video (mostly on Youtube and Twitch)
Screen will tear
Expected result: No screen tear
Brave Version( check About Brave): v1.70.126 Chromium: 129.0.6668.100
Currently on Windows you need to set application specific settings in the graphics driver (on nVidia at least) for brave.exe. Sounds like your issue revolves around “monitor technology” or vsync, background FPS limit, FPS limit, or all of those.
Brave should do a better job at controlling these settings for the user, other browsers tend to do a better job at the moment.
I immediately had FPS issues when using youtube hardware accelerated in Brave, my issue was the FPS limiter in the nvidia driver but yours might be different.
