Answer 2

i notice if you go to task manager detail tab and right click all the chrome until you find the ones that are set to low priority and change it to anything else, you will get a pop up saying this will remove it from efficiency mode. this could be the reason why. not sure if this will help. but i have been seeing less of these after changing the low priority ones to another one. not sure what is trigging the system to set these chrome as low priority.

Answer 3

Someone else said it had to do with the McAfee WebAdvisor extension https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/209111340/chrome-has-been-slow-and-unstable-since-03-2023?hl=en

I turned the extension off and my Chrome works fine now!

I do not have that extension and am suffering the same issue.

Answer 4

I have solved the issue, when your maccafee thingie I.e. anti virus protection expires your browser becomes slow, that was the case for me, as one user pointed stopping it allows your chrome to run fast and smoothly

That however does not stop efficiency mode, but on the other hand it works faster, way faster than it ever had

Stop the maccaffe web advisor extension to run smoothly

"That's true, my Kaspersky antivirus is about to expire in 20 days. I tried to disable efficiency mode, but it didn't work. I will try to disable the antivirus extension."
