Browsing certain pages is so slow. What could it be?

Whether I use Chrome or Firefox makes no difference. Disabling plugins makes no difference.

Certain pages with java embedded slowly drag my browser to a halt so I wonder what the hell is the problem? The page will begin working fine and gradually will slow down and i'll get a message on whether i want to wait or kill the page. This is not a flash issue as flash is disabled. I also experienced similar problems with Youtube sometimes whereby when I try to maximize the video window I would get a freeze.

I have updated my graphics Intel 630 drivers to no result.

What could be the issue? I have a 2017 modern PC with the exception of the on-board crappy GPU.

Well.....I do believe it's Java/Javascript that causing the problem but am not sure.

i7 7770, 16gm ram, Samsung 960pro ssd, Intel 630 GPU. RAM/GPU/cpu are fine.

For example I want to follow https://www.binance.com/trade.html?symbol=TRX_BTC. After few minutes it will freeze completely. Before it freezes hovering the mouse around the graph is most times slow. I then need to close page and open again before it starts freezing again.

Isn't this a java issue?

well my friends with Win10 don't experience these freezes
