Experiencing Browser Freezes: Seeking Solutions for Edge and Chrome on Zorin OS

When I first launched the Edge browser or Chrome, I experienced a temporary freeze on my computer. I have been using Zorin without any issues with these browsers since last year. However, over the past few months, I have encountered this problem where one of the browsers gets stuck upon opening. It's a bit frustrating when I'm in a hurry and have to wait for it to respond. I believe this issue may be due to my PC's specifications not meeting the requirements. Despite upgrading some components and reinstalling Zorin OS, the problem persists. My PC is equipped with a Ryzen 5 3400G processor, 16GB of 3200MHz RAM, and a 520GB SSD. I hope someone here can provide a solution.

Any extensions installed? Sounds odd to me it would happen on both.
