Cause of Chrome and Webview lag only solved by factory reset? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Galaxy S5 (G900F) running official Samsung Marshmallow ROM, rooted with CF-Autoroot.
A short while back I found that on certain website (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com) Chrome would lock up for about 30 seconds with constant CPU usage by the sandboxed Chrome process every time when visiting the site or trying to change article list view type on the site. Clearing cache, uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome did not solve the problem. I am not sure if other websites were less smooth than they could have been otherwise but the problem was only especially apparent when trying to access the main page of this site.
Oddly the same problem would occur with any other browser that used Webview such as Lightning or Relay for Reddit's internal browser, but did not occur with Samsung's browser, and did not occur with Firefox. It also occurred with Chrome Beta and Chrome Dev. Disabling hosts file based ad blocking did not solve the problem either.
Eventually, after a full factory reset, the problem is no longer present, and Chrome is fully responsive when accessing this site again. My question is what could possibly have caused the problem in the first place, that causes Chrome and webviews to lock up when trying to render or re-render this page that isn't solved by reinstalling Chrome, so that I can avoid the problem in the future?

[Q] HTTPS issues on all browsers except firefox.

SO I've been having a lot of issue viewing anything that is HTTPS on android 4.2.2 tablet. This happens whenever I visit any secured sites like gmail for example.
This is the same across almost all major browsers (Stock android, chrome, dolphin, boat) Firefox is the only browser that accepts HTTP and displays them, but my issue is that firefox is super slow to load pages.
Is there an app I can download that can solve this issue? Or is there a way I can speed up firefox? (I would much rather use dolphin since I paid for it).
Device info: Kurio 7s on android 4.2.2 rooted.
Adblocker apps were removed, have tried on multiple networks with the same result.

Chrome Beta is stuck as permanent browser!

I'm having some issues with Chrome Beta that I'm trying to get resolved through Google's support forum. So in the meantime, I installed Firefox and even the standard version of Chrome. Both work great, but unfortunately, Chrome Beta apparently doesn't won't to give up control. Even if I disable Chrome Beta or uninstall it completely, I am still not given the option to set another browser as the default. Instead, what I get when I click a link/url to access the internet, is the message "App not installed". It's like Chrome Beta has permanently set itself as the master default, even somehow after I have disabled or even uninstalled it.
Under Default Applications, Chrome Beta is not even listed, nor is any browser listed. I even reset all app preferences under Manage Applications, which reset all my apps' defaults, and still the default browser seems to be hardcoded for only Chrome Beta. If you open Chrome Beta under the Manage Applications, it ironically shows that it has NO defaults set, which seems odd but tells me obviously something is amiss here.
So, I'm at a lost, I have no idea why this is happening or why I can't force another browser to be the default. I do have root, so if anyone has any ideas how I could possibly override this strange behavior, or any other suggestions, I'd love to give it a try.

Stock browser problem preventing login to Samsung Wear account

I have three phones on which I can repeat this problem so it appears to be common to all.
The issue is that as part of the set up of Samsung Wear (for a watch), I need to sign into a Samsung account to be able to get to the store to download apps and set up Samsung Pay.
This is invoking the default Browser which for some reason cannot make a network connection yet open the same URL https://account.samsung.com in any other browser and it's fine, so it's not a phone comms issue, it's the browser that is blocking or being blocked. I tried to set a different default browser and although this works for opening links in apps, the Samsung Wear app still invokes the standard browser.
I'm absolutely stuck with this and just changing ROM isn't an option as for the amount of re-setup required afterwards, my wife would likely just rather go and buy another phone and do it on that. I'd prefer a route that doesn't involve rooting as that brings different issues with apps that refuse to run on a rooted device.
Anyone can test this issue by just using the default browser and trying https://account.samsung.com Why it's blocked, I have no idea.
I'm at my wits end, can anyone offer any suggestions? I've tried, resetting app defaults, clearing cache, all the usual stuff.

EasyList making blank pages

Hello,
I am using LG ZERO and have disabled most apps and Google apps. I use ApkPure to install apps and have a problem with internet browser that supports custom adblock filters.
I have tried Via and Lighting browser and it seems that each time I update and use EasyList, soon as the page loads or I cancel it, it becomes blank. This also happens with Fanboy's Annoyance filter and some other but most of them are working fine. I wouldn't know the issue and couldn't find anything online. Please help.
Thank you for your time
Tried factory reset and only installing Via, it still shows blank page after finished or skipped loading when EasyList filter is updated.

Some of the websites are not working on My system after installing windows 11

I am facing an issue with some website that does not load on my System after windows 11 installation.
The website opens well on my mobile but it gives issues on my Samsung Desktop.
I am using operating system 11 with all the software updated.
Like whenever I open a website (MOD EDIT: link removed) on the Desktop, it failed to load.
I have tried different browsers like Chrome, Opera, etc but it gives the same issue.
I have also tried clearing the cache and browsing data but still all in vain.
I hope that you will assist me in resolving the issue.
It might be due to the windows defender. Try disabling the virus and threat option in settings.
@sohaibiqbal123 Thanks for your quick reply. I have disabled the windows defender but still, I am facing the same issue. I don't know why this is happening. Should I reinstall the windows?
Did you tried microsoft edge? it is working for me
Go to browser settings, open privacy search and services menu, check your settings there and privacy level.
It could be either a browser or an antivirus that is blocking some websites.
First of all, it's a good idea to change your browser to something else. We recommend chrome or firefox.
Check if you can access these websites in Chrome and Firefox. If you can access it, your browser was blocking those websites because the certificate for that website has expired.
If you change your browser and still can't access these websites, your antivirus is blocking those websites and you should try another antivirus to check.
