Maybe I've installed too many plugins? I have close to 20.

Edit: It was just an issue on Arch Linux.

No, I am 40 plugins all active and they have not changed my browser load time almost at all.

Make sure there are no other issues. If you are on Arch Linux, there is a problem with xdg-desktop-portal-gnome that if installed will slowdown loading of many programs.

Yeah but by using brave you are contributing to the browser engine monopoly that chromium has created

And I support Mozilla goal of creating something independent, but I also don't like their engine. Everything using Blink is not automatically a bad thing.
