Question 1

How do I turn on Memory Saver in Brave on Windows?

Accepted Answer

I open Brave, click the three-bar menu in the upper-right, and go to Settings. Then I click System on the left pane and scroll down to the Memory section. From there I toggle Memory Saver on and choose a level like Moderate, Balanced, or Maximum.

Question 2

How do I turn off Memory Saver in the Brave browser?

Accepted Answer

Go to Settings from the three-bar menu, then click System on the left. In the Memory section, just toggle Memory Saver off. That’s it—no extra steps.

Question 3

Where is the Memory Saver setting in Brave?

Accepted Answer

It’s under Brave Settings, inside the System tab on the left-side pane. Once you’re in System, look in the center pane near the bottom for the Memory section. The Memory Saver toggle is right there.

Question 4

What does Memory Saver do in Brave?

Accepted Answer

Memory Saver frees up memory from inactive tabs, which helps keep Brave fast. It gives active tabs and other apps more computer resources. When you go back to an inactive tab, it automatically becomes active again.

Question 5

Why does Brave put my tabs to sleep?

Accepted Answer

That’s Memory Saver doing its job—sleeping inactive tabs to reduce RAM usage. The idea is better performance and responsiveness while you’re actually working in your active tabs. If you don’t like it, I show how to toggle it off.

Question 6

Can I keep certain websites from going inactive with Memory Saver?

Accepted Answer

Yes—under the Memory Saver toggle there’s an option called “Always keep these sites active.” I can click Add and enter specific sites I don’t want Brave to put to sleep. That way the main feature stays on, but my important sites stay active.

Question 7

What Memory Saver level should I choose in Brave (Moderate, Balanced, or Maximum)?

Accepted Answer

Brave gives you those choices once you enable Memory Saver: Moderate, Balanced, or Maximum. I don’t overcomplicate it—pick the level that matches how aggressive you want tab sleeping to be. If you notice too much tab sleeping, back it off, or just toggle the feature off.
