Browser takes ages to boot

Hey, After switching to Zorin, my only problem is slow boot time. I use Brave and it takes around 45 seconds to boot but on the other hand, Windows 10 takes only 15 seconds, I tried launching Minecraft and it took 30 seconds which is the same as Windows, but why does the browser take so long to boot? I tried Edge and it feels slow either.
Here's my laptop specs:

i also use brave and it opens in about 8 sec.
and my pc specs is way below yours .
how did you install brave ?

From Software store

Then it should be the Flatpak Version. That COULD be the Issue but don't have to.
Brave itself says that the Flatpak doesn't runs so good:

They recommend the native Package.

That's a good call @Ponce-De-Leon, I had problems with the Brave flatpak version some time ago.
I uninstalled the flatpak then installed Brave via their website.
No problem since.

Another thing to note is NOT deleting browsing data can make browsers slow to load.

Why copy and paste those commands with no acknowledgment?
Can't see the point.

No prob, I thought the issue was sorted earlier.

Yea, installation from command solved the issue.
