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.
