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.

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.
