Switching between google chrome tabs sluggish after new chrome update

WaffleMage · December 7, 2017

After i updated to the most recent version of chrome, for some reason or another, it started taking me anywhere from 2-5 seconds to swap from tab to tab. When I click on a different tab, it would take a few seconds before chrome actually swapped to it. The problem isn't just limited to this, full-screening a YouTube video takes a long time as well.

When i actually do swap tabs, the website i'm browsing tends to run without any hiccups, it's just getting to the website that's the issue.

My theory is that the issues may have been caused by either the new update, or me getting a new monitor(1080p@60hz-1440p@144hz)

I've checked task manager to see if it was an issue where my computer specs weren't up to par with the resolution(Which shouldn't be the issue since I upgraded to 16gb ram, have google chrome on an ssd, and bought a gtx 1080 to run the monitor), task manager said that none of my resources were maxed out, they were hovering between 50-53 percent on average.
