I honestly cannot remember now if it was enabled or not but I will give this a try, it seems like even with atom (the text editor) similar lag is present, I think cause they both use electron. Maybe electron is to blame.
Atom is based on Electron (formerly known as Atom Shell),[10] a framework that enables cross-platform desktop applications using Chromium and Node.js.[11][12] It is written in CoffeeScript and Less.[13]
I will definetely check out your solution though.
There is no need to do that. Just have look at chrome://gpu. Youâll get a detailed report of the enabled and disabled (unavailable in Linux) features.

To get a rough idea if 3D acceleration works, install package intel-gpu-tools. If you run a video on a website run sudo intel_gpu_top in a terminal. That will display how busy your GPU is.
So mine one is this:

Is there something wrong with my setup?
So is this just for video decoding? Or is this for scrolling and everything else as well?
Ok so I am going to output the results when I scroll.
So under this website: https://linuxconfig.org/benchmark-your-graphics-card-on-linux
For Firefox under Render/3D/0 I am getting about 25% whereas for Opera I am getting around 71%.
Could you post the output of inxi -G or/and hwinfo --gfxcard? You might have to install the according package first.
Did you install any non Intel drivers?
I am getting an error after doing this.
fish: No matches for wildcard âgfxcard?â. See `help expand`.
inxi - G or/and hwinfo - - gfxcard?
Nah. I have also tried this on other distros, similar issues.
Sorry. There were some spaces in the commands due to auto correction. Now the commands are correct. Make sure inxi or/and hwinfo are installed.
Back on my Netbook.

Nearly the same output on my system. I would remove xf86-video-intel. That one is not needed and can cause problems.
The correct driver is running and all needed packages are installed. So, according to my opinion, there is nothing you can do. There is no need to do further configuring of the intel driver. All is done by the kernel and the driver. In the worst case you will mess up your video setup.
As far as I can see you have 2 choices :
1 : Use Brave and live with that little inconvenience
2 : Use a browser that performs better on your system
Nevertheless you always have the choice to have a look in a Chrome or Brave forum. Maybe you might find a solution there. You could also start a bug report to either Chrome or Brave developers. Maybe they can offer some solution.
So currently I am not runing this driver, right?
Yeah I thought so that my drivers were working fine. I have done benchmark tests with GPU and CPU and generally they excelled on Linux so for sure everything is properly optimised and therefore EndeavourOS runs very well on my PC.
Its all chromium-based browsers that are taking up high CPU use. But thanks anyways mate.
I have already tried to contact the people over there but not much response.
Already done that, thanks mate 
By the way, even with the Atom text editor there is a similar problem with it. I am assuming it is based on Chromium or something? Do you know what is used between Chromium and Atom, does it use the same rendering engine or something?
Hey man, when I removed xf86-video-intel and after a reboot the display manager failed to start so I had to use the terminal interface (ctrl+alt+F2) and through that I installed the driver and it now works.
So if the display manager fails to startup without xf86-video-intel that means I am currently using this driver then? What is the alternative driver to xf86-video-intel?
Thatâs kind of strange. That package should not be necessary. It isnât installed on my system. I had it installed for some tests but again removed it later on. Without any problems.

I guess it is runing on my PC then, how do I change to a recommended alternative driver?
As you write display manager. What display manager are you using? On my system SDDM is active.
How do I find that out, sorry I donât know what is the command?
Have a look at Welcome -> change login manager
You should see it there.
I donât know what is wrong with KDE. In the past I have disabled the automatic Welcome screen thing to popup. Now when I launch it you can see on KDE it is attempting to launch but it closes itself out. I tried to reboot into the lts kernel does not make a difference. Is there a way to output the display manager I am currently using in terminal?
