Just by running brave creates alot of temp dirs in /tmp that never are

I am guessing, not a bug; instead, temporary storage bins for the Chromium engine.
If you delete them, Chromium will likely re-create them during startup.

Not unusual.
Chromium Multi-process Architecture
"https://blog.chromium.org/2008/09/multi-process-architecture.html "
The Chromium Projects - Memory Usage Backgrounder https://www.chromium.org/developers/memory-usage-backgrounder/ ”
Multi-Process Model Background
To understand Chromium’s memory usage, let’s understand the multi-process model. Unlike other browsers, Chromium is divided into multiple processes.
When Chromium starts up, it will initially have two processes.
One process is the browser process which controls the main browser functionality, and the other is the initial renderer process , which runs the Blink rendering engine and JavaScript (V8).
Each time you open a new tab in Chromium, you’ll likely get a new renderer process.
With typical browsing, it is common to see 5-7 chrome.exe processes active.
Further, if you utilize plugins, apps, or extensions, they may also execute within independent processes.
All of Chromium’s processes, whether it is a browser process, a renderer process, or a plugin process, will show under the Task Manager as “chrome.exe”.

I’m getting the following spikes.
Also, it’s preventing me from dragging the window away from one monitor to another.
I’m also seeing the Brave processes running when the program isn’t open.

The problem is still that empty tempdirs arent removed just like
$ ls -d .org*|wc -l
Now its 192 empty dirs.

Your report is similar to @testingbobby
Description of the issue:
I updated Brave recently and now it’s creating all these folders prefixed with “chrome_url_fetcher_” in the Program Files folder. Deleted these folders and restarted Brave a bunch of times (I had to to test another regression from this update ), it still creates them. Not a virus, scanned with AVG.
Brave Version( check About Brave):
1.73.89
Win10 LTSC 2021
Additional Information:
