Additional Information

This doesn't appear to be a new regression, looks it was happening under Brave v0.19.53 rev: e09025b as well. Was double checking to ensure that it wasn't introduced in 0.19.70.

Looks like it's just an animated pseudo element. We could hide them with our own injected stylesheet. In fact, removeEmptyElements.css might be a good home for this.

@GeetaSarvadnya can you recheck this on Win?

@kjozwiak i have checked this issue on Windows 64 bit machine. Seems issue is fixed now. But these is one spinning icon shows on the screen for loading the graph. Graph should be shown immediately when the page loads but its taking few seconds extra after loading the page.
