Brave Version( check About Brave):

Can you please try disabling Graphics Acceleration (found in Settings --> System) and test to see if this makes any difference? Additionally, do you have the memory saver feature enabled at this time (also found in Settings --> System)?
Both don’t make a difference. I clean reinstalled Brave and it still happens erratically. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn’t.
Would you be willing to try downloading the Beta build of the browser and testing to see if you get the same behavior there? Note that it will install as a separate browser and will not overwrite your current install.
I already tested the nightly and reinstalled release version of Brave. The issue seems to be fixed in the nightly, not the release. I’ll test Beta right now.
I just tested Brave beta and everything seems to be resolved. No issues.
I’m wondering if whatever is causing the issue will get “pushed out” when the current Beta updates and replaces the current stable. But to confirm you are still seeing the issue in stable at this time?
There was a small update which fixed it. 1.76.81 seemed to do it.
Thank you for confirming. Glad the issue has been resolved for you.
