Scrolling fails to function as expected using Google Maps

Description

When I use Google Maps the two finger trackpad scrolling is hyper sensitive and makes zooming in/out impossible to use practically. This does not occur in Firefox, Chromium, or Safari.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Brave
2. Go to Google Maps with shields up.
3. Zoom using trackpad.

Actual result:

Zooming/scrolling is hyper sensitive to movement on the trackpad. Makes for poor user experience.

Deactivating shields, allows for a better user experience, the zooming is somewhat less sensitive but it is still jumpy and not smooth compared to the other browsers mentioned above.

Expected result:

Smooth zooming like in the browsers mentioned above.

Reproduces how often:

Easily reproduced, this happens whenever I use Google Maps in Brave.

Since there haven’t been concrete steps to reproduce and this has been open for a while, I’m going to close. Def suggest trying the work-around above 😄

Following fixed this issue / worked for me:

1. Enable Hardware Acceleration

Open this Setting or enter the following in the address bar:

brave://settings/?search=hardware+acceleration

2. Set Shield to block cross-site fingerprinting and cross-site cookies

Tested on:

Brave version 1.9.72 Chromium: 81.0.4044.138 (Official Build) (64-bit)
macOS Mojave 10.14.3

Hope this helps others. Cheers!!
