Brave starting slow

Hi,

On the Aurora , Brave Browser exhibits a significant startup delay of approximately 60 seconds when KDE Wallet is disabled. Enabling KDE Wallet resolves the delay, suggesting a dependency or interaction between Brave and KDE Wallet.

This is more of Brave issue and should be reported there.

Your right, I will do that.

edit:

I want to leave the ‘solution’ here, in case anyone comes looking:

Re-enable KDE Wallet Manager:

Go to: System Settings > KDE Wallet

Check “Enable the KDE wallet subsystem”

Create an existing wallet with no passwords stored.

Set it to auto-close and not open at startup.

This satisfies dependent services without storing sensitive data.
