Anyone noticed Chrome slowdown/lag sice Avast 25.5?

Here is the video:

(For unknown reason this forum not allow me upload links, so replace XX)

This slowdown happens on every site I visit.

This slowdown is not caused by a slow internet connection, a slow computer, a server issue, or malware.

Ublock Origin Lite uses default settings. No other extensions are installed.

I use only one Antivirus (Avast).

Disabling all Avast shields does not solve this issue, but the slowdown completely vanishes when Avast is uninstalled.

I experience this slowdown on multiple computers with Windows 10 and Windows 11, all with Avast installed.

Occasionally, the slowdown temporarily disappears when Chrome is updated to a new version, but returns after a few computer restarts.

General computer speed is not affected; only Chrome is slow. Uninstalling Chrome with the “User Data” folder removed and then reinstalling it did not solve the issue.
