On one of my Macs I am experiencing weird extremely sluggish performance in Chrome AND Firefox, but not in other programs and not even in Safari. The symptoms are that the Chrome and Firefox UIs are sluggish to respond for example
* I start typing in the url bar and it takes a few moments for the text to catch up with my typing
* I click to refresh or CMD+R and it takes a few moments before the activity icon starts spinning
* Loading pages takes longer than should be the case
* Scrolling up and down is very stuttery and sluggish
I am experiencing none of these issues with Safari on the same computer.
I also have Chrome logged in with the same user account and all the same exact extensions on another computer, and it does not experience these performance issues.
First experiencing these issues a few weeks ago and noticing that I had some irreparable filesystem issues, over the weekend I wiped the drive, reinstalled a fresh Mac OS, and loaded everything from my Time Machine. No more filesystem issues although I still have the sluggish performance problems with Chrome and Firefox.
Today I completely deleted Chrome including all the folders under the Library directories and then reinstalled fresh. Even without logging in to my google account or adding any of my extensions, I still have the performance issues.
Any ideas?
The only thing I can think of now would be to wipe the computer again and this time not restore my Time Machine and just add the things I need back piecemeal but I'd rather avoid that if anyone has any ideas.
