@rebron I don’t know if this bugfix has hit stable yet, but it must have. Brave is back to its normal behaviour. It’s flirtation with turning computers into leaf-blowers has ended!

rebron, thanks for putting together the fix.

@davinci26 @jvarghe It looks like we may have this fixed in #11504. That fix is currently in Beta, if you have a chance we’d love if you can see if that version is running ok. Otherwise it’s looking like end of October for that fix to reach you.
