Youtube lagging

@Bajiraya do a favor and answer me the following things. Do note that 5 and 6 are only needed if the others don’t seem to yield results. It all does take some time and effort on your part, but might do good on everyone figuring things out a bit more.

  1. Are you saying this happens only on YouTube and no other website? If not sure, please do some testing and advise. It would be nice to know if it’s just an issue with playing videos in the browser or if it is indeed only videos on YouTube that’s causing you grief.

  2. Just for a short while, test with Shields off and see if any impact. (obviously might have ads while off, but it’s just to see if any difference)

  3. While I doubt we’ll see an impact, it might be helpful to try a new profile as it seems you didn’t mention that. At least helps narrow down possible issues if you can give it a shot. It’s Hamburger Menu imageMore ToolsAdd new profile. Then just test on that without changing settings or adding extensions.

  4. Can you open your Intel Graphics Control Center review settings in there. Especially try to find anything related to Brave and see what you have. If you don’t have anything like that, you might want to grab it. Link to Intel about it is https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/docs/graphics/graphics-command-center.html and would let you tweak your graphics settings a bit to run things better.

  5. As Mattches mentioned, could you test on Brave Beta and/or Brave Nightly and see if it happens there as well?

  6. For testing purposes, mind trying to see if you also experience the same issue in Chrome?
