Recently, I've been experiencing slow Chrome performance on my M1 Pro 14.4.1 system, despite not experiencing any major updates or changes. This includes system upgrades, browser updates, and no changes to Chrome's settings. I've been using Surge as a proxy without any ad-blocking rules enabled, and I haven't installed any ad-blocking extensions. The proxy nodes have also remained unchanged. Under the same conditions, Safari opens YouTube and Google pages instantly, while Chrome takes a long time to load and often displays a spinning wheel when playing videos. However, I've found one exception: searching directly in the Chrome address bar remains fast. I've tried various methods, such as closing security DNS and enabling hardware acceleration, but nothing has had an impact. I'm unsure if anyone else has experienced similar issues.
