All browsers Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Brave, are "as slow as molasses going uphill on a cold day."
I have tried all browsers singularly (at great pains installing & removing them) so one would not drag the other down.
A few minutes ago I rebooted the computer, opened the Task Mgr, to make sure nothing was running. It took over two minutes for Chrome to open to my home page and a similar but a bit little longer time to seek out a page that I did a search for.
All other browsers reacted with like results with Brave being the fastest but "nothing to write home about.".
I am running Windows Security and it is my AV and Firewall and everything is updated.
To put it bluntly I am running Windows 98 speeds with a dial up 4k modem. The only thing different is I don't hear the modem tones from back then.
My Internet speed was 840 Meg down and 345 Meg Up.
ALL HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED
