Brave Browser also supports Chrome extension and plugins. Working on Brave Browser has a password manager, built-in AdBlocker, and loads web pages 3x to 6x faster than any other browser. Privacy is one of the most significant features of this browser as it does not track you. Brave is an open-source browser that uses the Chromium project as its foundation. It's dropping frames constantly.Brave Browser is a good option for Manjaro Linux users who are concerned about their privacy and do not want to see advertisements while browsing the web. Oddly, streaming from Prime Video doesn't buffer (Widevine extension installed for this) and doesn't drop quality, but the framerate isn't right. The whole browser feels as though it's running without any hardware acceleration, similar to how Windows used to feel before you installed graphic drivers back in the day, but I can't see any options in settings to check. I do see though that Brave installs the extensions I had active in Chrome so I have disabled all extensions as I'm not sure which ones should be there as default. I've never installed it on this machine before. I really do like the browser, but sadly this is making it not a useful alternative currently :(ĮDIT: Further info. Happy to help try to troubleshoot, run tests, play with settings etc. It worked fine in both Firefox and chrome. What's interesting to me is that even a 7 second clip I watched of a SpaceX landing buffered every time it repeated, whereas I would have expected it to have been cached.

I've run a few speedtests and they all come back showing the full speed I'd expect (110mbps) It prompted me to go looking if Brave had some sort of proxy set-up, similar to what Opera used to have, because it is acting as though it's going through a proxy or a VPN with bandwidth issues. Any streaming will stutter, buffer, drop down to a lower quality.
