Application slowness (when opening new tabs, loading a website) #8541
Comments
Same here, and the entire browser freezes while loading a webpage. |
Exactly my problem, the browser is extremely laggy on Windows 10 x64. It is unusable at the moment. It literally takes 3 or 4 seconds to open a new tab. Crashes are common. Something has happened...I get it is only beta. |
Until recent updates i couldn't use brave (Macos Sierra, on a very beefy new iMac) because it was too slow to tolerate. A couple days ago I downloaded the latest release: And wonder of wonders, you guys have improved things pretty dramatically. It's actually tolerable (though still sluggish) to launch, and quite zippy opening tabs and loading pages. But... overall moving around in the app it still has a sluggish feeling to it and closing a tab is still completely absurd. I hit command-W or click the X to close a tab and I count slowly:
... and somewhere around three one thou the tab finally closes. It's fine if you don't have things fully optimized. Extended beta's are great. But I think you guys should stop calling Brave "faster" than the alternatives because since (as of now) it actually feels materially slower than the alternatives in many ways, people who download it and run it and experience it as slow are going to just assume that nothing you say is credible. I understand the principle on which you are claiming speed and I am not arguing with that. Not downloading all the crap that Brave blocks will certainly speed things up. But if the app itself performs so slowly that downloading junk is not the bottleneck in perceived snappiness in a user's experience, then marketing the browser as "fast" is going to sound untrustable. For me personally, I can't tolerate the general lagginess and that 3-second wait to close a tab, so Chromium remains my primary browser for now. I'll keep checking in. |
I also see similar issues. Brave was my default browser for about 9 months, but recently it became much slower than Chrome. This used to be not like this. Chrome on the same machine works just fine. Here is the machine, it is powerful enough: |
@ashkitten @ipeychev - Following up specifically on the reported slowness of opening a new window or a new tab. Please let us know if you're still seeing the same issue. There is a possible duplicate issue here: #9877 for opening a new window when no other windows are open. Thanks for helping us find performance issues with Brave! |

Hi No such lags on Linux machine, responses are immediate. Brave | 0.19.131 | on both OS |
+1 from @jamesray1 via #13053 Repro steps:
|
Brave was slow this morning and a few times in recent days, without downloading any files this morning. After closing it this morning and opening it again, a few minutes later, it crashed again. Brave: 0.20.42 |
Closing as this issue is a little ambiguous. There are known crash issues, but there aren't enough steps to identify a specific slowness issue(s) |
