I have tried using Waterfox (64-bit version of Firefox) and Edge with the same symptoms and results, so it isn't being caused by the browser.

Try using the Brave Browser. It has the best ad blocker software I have seen.

It drastically reduces the load time of websites. And will reduce the CPU usage of your browser.

Hmmmm, I’ll give Brave another try. Last time I tried it, it wasn’t anywhere near ready for prime time.

Installed Brave. It seems to be better than the 1st time I tried it.

Actually, so far, Brave seems to be MUCH better than either Waterfox or Edge.

However, even though my pages are not showing a slowdown, in Task Manager, CPU is still going way high, even up to 100% at times. But no slowdown.

So, the slowdown in the other browsers is not being caused by CPU cycles getting all used up.

Would Brave be considered Chrome? I ask because I got an email from Twitter saying there was a login using Chrome. I don’t use Chrome, but I did log in to Twitter using Brave.
