Are you sure you're not experiencing placebo effect and/or confirmation bias? Brave and Chrome use the same underlying rendering engine, so the performance and memory usage should be the same.

Brave excises quite a bit of Chromium[1], but that isn't what makes it fast and lightweight. The real savings come by way of not having to download all of the cruft of the Web. For many sites, more than 50% of the data loaded consists of ads and trackers[2]. When you don't have a sea of third-parties dropping scripts and more onto your machine, the Web is quite a bit more enjoyable

Theres a lot of code in chrome that is not the rendering engine.
