The chromium based browsers on my system seem to have slowed down a lot after the 2022-11-02 update. On my system, this is Brave and chromium, both display almost the exact same rather serious UI latency when opening and closing tabs, and general internet navigation, especially Youtube videos which lag like crazy.
Speed test from the CLI comes in strong at ~180MB/s Down / 7 MB/s Up. Ditto when run from the browser. I suspect some kind of cache issue or some other bug, but have no confirmation.
Why have the browsers slowed down so much? Firefox is uneffected on my system.
Issue is not Kernel related, I restarted on a seperate LTS kernel and still have the same issue.
EDIT 0:
Running with --no-gpu increases speed by a lot on Chrome, manually disabling hardware acceleration in the Brave settings menu similarly improved performance by a large margin.
