Chrome sucks. i use Brave on both my phone and PC. I’m okay with ads, but sometimes they get too intrusive and break my web browser.
Edge and Chrome are both built using the chromium engine.
They are pretty much the same browser, just rebadged.

I won’t use anything with ads EVER.
Chrome has or soon will remove uBlock Origin luckily the Devs have created uBlock Origin Lite which works great so far.
Thanks, this worked.
holy cow this worked ty wish i can give you 5 likes for it lol
Doing it here too. I was using adblock but actually found out that it was lagging me in raid and raid was fine once I uninstalled it. I guess I will try ublock.
Don’t use Chrome problem solved
Use Firefox with Ublock…20+ yrs using Firefox and never had issues with it.
You see ads, What is this 2001?
uBlock + Privacy Badger
Actually blocking ads was easier in 2001 than it is now lol.

Are you on Windows 11?
WoWhead is an awful website in terms of ads (and they’ve had like three too many issues with malicious ads showing up for anyone to not run adblockers while using it), but Windows 11 has “efficiency mode” which automatically triggers and cannot be turned off through normal means, and I’m wondering if WoWhead is triggering that on your browser.
I’ve noticed that it’s usually fine, but occasionally efficiency mode effectively just freezes the browser into un-usability.
I use Brave browser (cus I don’t do YouTube ads) and Ghostery ad blocker.
I feel like I’m different than everyone else here…yikes…I’m a lemming IRL, hate not having that confirmation that everyone else is doing the same. 
Mine has a different issue. My videocard overheats for any reason causing video crash (black screen) but the audio still present… while playing WoW especially when someone cast a Spell with tons of effects, while watching a video, while doing a browser while playing WoW. I put my settings to its lowest and even buy more RAM but it didnt solve it. I am playing on 4K resolution. I thought my old hardware cant handle it.
I just found the cure… I hope it’s the cure. One time, a tip from the internet says, I have to update motherboard’s chipsets drivers. I thought I did it already. Then one time, I was able to install the software for my motherboard but I dont know how to use it. My motherboard has 4 settings: Extreme Performance, Balanced, Silent, Customize. I tried Extreme Performance… For days, I have seen no crashes until one time. And on that one time, I went back to that motherboard software, explore it more… until I found Tumbled into Support - Scan. I let it scan my motherboard drivers. Dang, it’s like 5 items not updated which concerns Intel CPU. I immediately installed all of them. After that, I felt my PC went faster. No more video crash, WoW runs faster (more fluid)even if I put on a browser. Of course, I am on Do Not Disturb while Gaming settings for Notification… I even turned on HDR… it made everything beautiful in 4K resolution especially on WoW. No crash so far.
This did the trick for me. Even on a new computer it was freezing my chrome.
What’s sad is I tried to pay $2/month for the premium to support the site but that kept failing too. So now it’s the same outcome and they get nothing…
TY 
Thanks for the advice, I will try to tweak some settings. Yea, my spell effects was set to everything instead of essential and I would get like 20fps in ashran during big fights. Though, something is wrong with WoW in general, my computer can run 7 Diablo 3s at once, but it can’t run 2 WoWs and every time I try to start 2 WoWs, my computer gets a black screen like you said. Also, I can’t stream right now because my nvidia broadcast keeps crashing when I play wow for what ever reason. It’s something new on the last update. Ugh!
Thank you for this, I thought it was just me.
ublock origin saved my life
I actually came here trying to also figure out why Wowhead’s website was messing my browser up so bad. Funny enough, I already had Ublock, it just wasn’t switched on for some reason. Instantly fixed again. Best extension ever.
