Your browser is using too much RAM and slowing your computer
Close unused tabs - that's almost always the fix. Each tab uses 50-200MB of RAM. If you have 30 tabs open, that's 1.5-6GB right there.
Modern browsers use a lot of memory because each tab runs separately. Close tabs you're not using. Enable Memory Saver or Sleeping Tabs to suspend inactive tabs. If one tab uses way more memory than others, close that website.
