I've noticed incredible slowdowns lately in Brave (like 1-2 months I suppose), like reddit pages that I occasionally still visit redrawing a half dozen times. I'm on gigabit so it's not the internet, ssd, and my computer is decently fast.
The reddit excessive redraws was caused by noscript, which I found out because it just had a bad release that broke everything so I disabled it (redraws may be a conflict with Old Reddit or ublock). When enabled I see a flash of some icon that's the size of the entire window, so I think noscript may have replaced some tracking assets and screwed up the layout somehow like by leaving off the width/height so it resizes.
The history seems to grow forever and slows everything down, which is pointless since the URL bar won't complete any history after like a week or so (you have to manually open history and ctrl-f search for it). Clearing it occasionally seems to help a lot, cache seems to stay under control.
Honestly I hate Brave, but most of the problems I have with it I think are from Chromium so all the Cloniums are going to suck. Like dragging a link into a window opens a new tab instead of replacing the current tab. But what alternative is there. I like Firefox, but there's no way I'm going to support that censorious wokeness.
