Description of the issue:
How can this issue be reproduced?

1.Goto TitanTV.com
2.
3.

Expected result: Page to load without freezing browser.

Brave Version( check About Brave): [
Version 1.30.89

Additional Information: I have been using this website for years with no issues. Now, if I try to go to it, the page image loads, but the page loading rotating arrow keeps spinning then freezes. When that happens, I canā€™t move the mouse anywhere. I canā€™t get Task Manager to load to force quit Brave. I canā€™t go anywhere. Iā€™m stuck on the page. This website works fine in the Chrome browser. Anyone know how to fix this?

@tanker,
Thanks for reaching out.
Not exactly sure how to reproduce this. When I visit the site, I land on the page and it finishes loading without any issue. Is there an action I need to take specifically to produce the issue?

3

Wow! Thanks for the fast reply! Try seeing if it works in a private window and let me know.

4

@tanker,
Works the same in a Private window as well.

5

I guess itā€™s hard to give advice if you canā€™t reproduce the issue. Why would I have this issue and not you? Any ideas?

6

@tanker,
Can you try clearing site data for the site and then test and see if you get the same results? Visit the site, click the ā€œlockā€ icon in the address bar, then Site settings --> Clear data. Refresh the page and see if the issue persists.

Would going here do the same thing? If so, that doesnā€™t help. Iā€™m using the browser now. If I go to TitanTV, my browser will freeze so I wouldnā€™t be able to click anything on the page.

Have you tried rebooting the PC?

9

Yes. Funny, but I have no problems in the Chrome browser with this website!

10

What version of Windows? And is it 32-bit or 64-bit?

And is Brave 32- or 64-bit?

I will say that page loaded for me, but itā€™s a heck of a lot of content. Wondering if thereā€™s some kind of memory management issue going on.

Had no issues here, but this may help fix some perf issues. Since it blocks the inpage video advertising. https://github.com/easylist/easylist/commit/0723090e7a60067fa8326b6f88d33bdcbff4d536

Give it 48hrs to rollout.

12

64 bit. Any idea of why it works fine for me on Chrome, but freezes Brave?

13

I found that the uBlock Origin extension will allow me to use this site without freezing Brave. AdBlock Plus and Privacy Badger didnā€™t solve the issue. Any thoughts on why I have no issues in the Chrome browser with this site?

14

What extensions are you using in Chrome? If any, I wonder if one of them might be blocking something and then preventing this issue.

Also note that it could be something wrong in the underlying Chromium version, thereā€™s a bit of a delay between newer versions of underlying Chromium making it into Brave.

Iā€™m opening TitanTV in a private window and the only extensions I run in that window are password managers. I just opened Brave with only a private window and nothing else. I opened Task Manager so I could watch it and went to that website. Task manager showed Brave was using 2000MB loading TitanTV!! Good grief! No wonder everything is getting messed up. I just allowed the uBlock Origin extension for a private window and now TitanTV is using 867MB, the site now works and doesnā€™t freeze. I generally donā€™t allow extensions in a private window due to privacy concerns. Iā€™ll just have to use a regular window and run the uBlock Origin extension. I wonder why this is just happening to me?

  • Does it work better in private window mode?
  • Can you test in Brave Nightly? Does it improve there?
  • Does adding ||connatix.com^ too brave://adblock as a custom filter help?

OK, this is cool, we are getting closer ā€“ certainly seems like itā€™s adblocker-related (or more precisely, lack of it, when the issue occurs).

In addition to @fanboynz 's comments, you could maybe try flipping Shields to ā€˜Aggressiveā€™ on that site and see if that improves things.

19

No, it freezes in a private window unless I allow the uBlock Origin extension to run in a private window. I think the easiest solution is to use that website in a regular window running the uBlock Origin extension. Iā€™ve used that website for years with no issues. It would appear that they did something to screw it up!

20

OK, I sent Shields to aggressive. I canā€™t block scripts as the site wonā€™t work properly. Shields is blocking the logos for TV networks, but I can live with that I can use the site with this Shields settings. Thanks, Jim!
