Brave browser is slow and freezes up frequently. What's better?

"Vivaldi is based on Opera and Chrome. I have been using it for about a year. https://vivaldi.com"

Next best among up-to-date browsers (you can hack it to get multiple tab rows ) after Firefox Quantum portable (so you can also use legacy Firefox at the same time and which you can also hack to get multiple tab rows). And along with Waterfox classic (most FF legacy extns work) then I use two profiles of Firefox ESR 59

which enable Tab Mix Plus and a few other extensions which enabled more key customization than the whole of other browsers.

If a page balks, try it again “Shields down,” if it still balks, copy/paste the URL into a different browser, and see how it acts. Chrome would be most identical to Brave.

I've found a few sites that simply won't load correctly under Brave but work fine with Chrome. I figure they probably made some backroom deal with Google...or the NSA.

" In the tree structures in the left sidebar find “This Computer”; right-click on it and pick “Properties.”"

Or hold down the Windows key (bottom left, with flag) and tap the Pause/Break key (some laptops also require the Fn key). For more, open the Run command (Windows key and r key) and type msinfo32. For even more run dxdiag.

Which page is it? Sites like Gateway Pundit load about 200 network requests (FR loads 3) in the background and you lack the resources to handle the load.

"My “weak” laptop used to have 2GB; upgrading to 4GB was dramatically better. I keep lots of tabs open (30+), and when I come back out of sleep mode on my Win7 laptop, there’s a lag "

I would think so! 4GB is about the minimum just for the OS and browsing. But RAM is expensive now. Maybe clone your OS to a SSD (128 GB for under $30) and boot from that, using your old drive for storage.

I have a puzzlement on my Windows 10 desktop. I use three programs to search/read the web; DuckDuckGo with Opera, Microsoft Bing, and Brave. When done on the web, I close all browsers and run CCleaner. It tells me that Edge Chromium is running and asks to close it. I click okay, it says it’s taking a long time and should it force it. A couple of seconds after I say okay, CCleaner starts. When I look on Task Manager when I get the first message, Edge doesn’t show as a running apt.

Modern browsers open up multiple PROCESSES that sometimes stay open after he app is closed.

To check how much RAM you have
Open Settings > System > About and look for the Device Specifications section.

Have an OT Samsung problem. A friend and I have been getting group texts for a while but can only reply to them. How do we add this group text under contacts?

Works for me and I often have multiple tabs open.

Is it just certain sites or any site?
