[Kain999]

Why the right scrolling bar in Chrome takes 10 seconds to load everytime. Pls fix it.

Use Ublock origin and add in filter

yup this seems to be the case, turned off ad blocker extension and tons of ads popped out but the issue is gone.

this is pretty annoying.

I migrated from Chrome to Brave.

Added the above to Brave, uBlock Origin. Loading still slow. Brave blocks ads by default, even without the use of an extension.
For the moment, I use FF when browsing hardwarezone forums now.

Brave based on Chromium browser. I use Brave, after testing all 3 - Chrome, FF, Brave. Brave has the smallest footprint in terms of CPU usage when I surf eg hwz forums, other forums i watch, sports news, youtube, twitch etc.

I made the switch when the bloatedness of Chrome started becoming an issue with the higher than usual CPU usage.

i tried it before but can't recall why i dropped it. Maybe i should try again

 

[batniss]

i used brave now to load hwz, no need to do any special settings. not bad.

I recommend using EDGE also if got issues with chrome.

It works fine for edge

Edge also goot in terms of memory and cpu

I guess Brave is incompatible with some sites you regularly visit.

When I buy things online, I still stick to Chrome or FF. Since I also always default to Incognito, so not very certain that Brave browser won't encounter problems. By right it shouldn't. , but I don't want any loading issues when keying in and confirming credit card transactions.

I don't buy things online often enough for it to pose a problem when I have to switch. Right now, don't even have Chrome installed. Firefox is enough for my needs. Plus, Chrome likes to auto-update in the background, and that action seems to eat up some CPU, and it seems to always do auto-update when starting up the laptop. I could find a way to disable that, but its always possible that the auto-update in the background is defaulted again when Chrome updates to a new version.

Firefox default behavior is to check new version and update on opening Firefox. That one more clean lah for me.

Don't like it, atm. See how. Now I browse the forums on FF, incognito mode.

Haven't yet fully tested footprint of FF and Edge on my current laptop, when surfing eg forums, news sites, video sites like youtube, streaming like Twitch.

It may well be that Edge has smaller footprint and faster loading. I will schedule some time to fully test between the 2 browsers for my most frequented sites and see how.

Good share.

Anyway the rewards is real? How to trigger it? Automatic?
