Windows 10 and Chromium browsers

The week's question

In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Happy New Year!

Been having problems with Chromium based browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge, Opera and a couple others) all load very slowly for random time intervals (30s - 5 minutes or more). Videos will buffer indefinitely. It seems that the browser looses connection for random periods of time. I made sure Windows and browsers were up to date, cleared cache, cookies, ran Windows repair services, ensured drivers were up to date, changed DNS servers, and a couple other items which I can not recall currently. The problem only occurs with the one windows desktop (I have multiple different devices with multiple OS's that all run with no problems - internet is plenty fast). A couple sites/comment threads stated this is a known issue with Java, and developers were not focused on fixing that specific problem.

Any and all advice is appreciated.

Sam
