Chrome lagging during animations/videos horribly. Examples listed in thread.

[SurreaL]

I’m experiencing lag in certain conditions with my internet browser of choice, chrome.

For example, I was just surfing and loaded this website:

The top part of course I expect to have a little loading period, but it basically never ran smoothly the whole time I had the tab open.

Another example…

I saw a tweet where someone was praising the web design of this site and I wanted to check it out for myself. In the bottom right hand corner of the website has a loading progress status. Once it reaches 100% and during the loading process, the site is practically unusable.

And another example…

I wanted to try out this browser based game in alpha to contribute to testing… It’s literally unplayable because it’s so choppy and slow.

Another scenario that just happened to me…

I was just watching Coffeezilla on the Joe Rogan on Spotify. I had the video up on my second monitor in the chrome browser. It was running fine and I had a separate window open on my main monitor where I was browsing the web without a problem. I then proceeded to load up - Immediately as OpenSea started to load on my main monitor the podcast video on my second monitor crawls to a snails pace and is playing at probably single digits frames per second. The audio continues as normal.

I’m assuming based on the examples provided (it seems quite obvious) - the culprit of the lag would be the animated parts of websites. Is it Javascript? or Flash or something like that? I’m not entirely confident that I know the name.

I also experience problems on youtube (even on low quality video settings) where it will black out, have a little circle and load, then resume the video.

I don’t believe that I’ve had this problem for very long. I’ve only really noticed the issue in the last week or so.

This doesn’t make sense that I am having these issues in my head, because I have an absolute monster of a PC as far as hardware goes and my most recent speed test was 82 Mbps Down and 76 Mbps Up… I’m going to upload a screenshot of my hardware/software set up as well.

Anyone have any ideas on why? I don’t have an abundance of tabs open on chrome either…

I’ve just done an experiment that I don’t know why I didn’t think to try before.

I opened microsoft edge and attempted to recreate one of the scenarios I listed out as an example in my OP.

“I was just watching Coffeezilla on the Joe Rogan on Spotify. I had the video up on my second monitor in the chrome browser. It was running fine and I had a separate window open on my main monitor where I was browsing the web without a problem. I then proceeded to load up - Immediately as OpenSea started to load on my main monitor the podcast video on my second monitor crawls to a snails pace and is playing at probably single digits frames per second. The audio continues as normal.”

I am not having any issue with the video playing within Edge, and having a separate window of Edge on my main monitor with opensea.io open and running smoothly. So the issue lies within chrome itself.

Checked to see if there may be an extension that may be causing this?

Reset chrome back to factory?
