When starting the Brave browser, looking at resource utilization, it eats most of the 4GBs of the RAM (the maximum a i386 processor can handle). Windows will resort to paging at this point.
Steps to Reproduce
Open Brave browser on Windows 7 Enterprise in 32-bit with 4GB RAM
Open Task Manager
Observe RAM usage
Actual result:
Your memory usage will have a big spike when Browser inits, then spikes down when closed.
Expected result:
Acceptable memory usage (Chrome and Chromium has 90% lesser usage in 32-bits)
Reproduces how often:
Easily reproduced
Brave version (brave://version info)
73.0.62.50
Reproducible on current release:
Does it reproduce on brave-browser dev/beta builds? Not yet tested - but probably affected as well
Website problems only:
Does the issue resolve itself when disabling Brave Shields? No
Is the issue reproducible on the latest version of Chrome? No
Additional Information
This is a fresh install on a Windows 7 Enterprise install.

Removing myself as I don't have a Win 7 x86 VM anymore. @btlechowski I believe you have one handy, when you have some time, mind going through this and see if you can reproduce anything similar in terms of Brave eating up unnecessary memory?
I simulated the conditions reported in the issue(4GB, Windows 32bit Enterprise) and I was unable to reproduce. On clean profile, all Brave processes took max 200MB.
