What are the reasons a browser freezes?
it often either slows down or a window pops up asking to close it or wait -
It all depends on which browser, Chrome, how many tabs are open, and what happened right before it started?
chrome and internet explorer are very slow
both? browsers are slow
I can launch it ten times and it will keep freezing, then I launch it again, a small black window opens and it works normally
are there any letters in the window?
suspect a virus
no, just black
I've already deleted the cookies and so on
scan the system, here's a link to download a good free antivirus

if it's a virus, it will fix the problem
what antivirus do you currently have installed?
https://www.freedrweb.com/download+cureit+free/?lng=ru
this antivirus doesn't need installation — it tests everything right away
and there you just click next?
yes
then agree to everything
and download the antivirus program
and scan the system
if it finds something, it will either clean it or delete it... whatever you tell it to do
ok thanks, hope it helps
are any other programs freezing too?
because if it were only one browser, then its add-ons or extensions would be the ones getting in the way, caches too, but cookies can't do that...
well, opera works but it's become very slow
and if you say that several programs — browsers — are affected, then most likely everything is infected, you need to scan with an antivirus
run an antivirus scan — and set it to check everything, including the partition table and all!! drives
also just close all the tabs, add more RAM.
There are several reasons your browser might "freeze" or run slowly. Here are some of the most common causes:
-
Insufficient computer resources: If you have a lot of programs or tabs open in the browser, this can lead to a lack of RAM or CPU resources, which will slow the browser down.
-
Outdated browser version: If you have an outdated version of the browser installed, it may contain bugs or incompatibilities, which can cause glitches and slowdowns.
-
Presence of unwanted extensions or plugins: Some browser extensions or plugins may be incompatible, contain bugs, or consume a large amount of resources, which can cause the browser to freeze.
-
Caching and history issues: Accumulating a large amount of cache and browsing history can slow down the browser. Regularly clearing the cache and history can help resolve this problem.
-
Internet connection issues: An unstable or slow internet connection can cause delays and freezes when loading web pages and other content.
-
Malware: Malicious programs, such as viruses or spyware, can affect the browser's operation, causing freezes or redirects to unwanted pages.
If your browser frequently "freezes," it is recommended to take the following steps:
- Update the browser to the latest version.
- Clear the browser's cache and history.
- Disable unnecessary extensions or plugins.
- Close unnecessary tabs or programs to free up computer resources.
- Check for malware using antivirus software.
If the problem persists, it may be worth seeking help from a specialist or reinstalling the browser.
