Google search pages load really slowly on Chrome, Edge, and Firefox (which is the default browser). Google Images also loads slowly, but clicking an image makes it just stay dark or black (or white if your theme is off). On other hand, Bing and DuckDuckGo work perfectly fine with all three browsers. This problem started about a week ago. I think it might be because I deleted some programs on my PC that I thought were useless through the Control Panel, but I don't think that's true. I tried many online fixes like clearing cache and data, resetting the browsers to default, even reinstalling them, and none of those worked. Any help would be awesome. TIA. definitely not a slow internet connection problem.

How long have these programs been running? I don't know which ones they were using. It seems like nothing would stop Google from searching the web. They probably just use 2 of their own engines: Chrome and Edge, but not Firefox. And you can only log into your Google account on one browser at a time (Chrome shows up in the top right corner for me, while Edge shows my username there too). So why is every single browser making slow searches when I type? The link points to a support page about picture loading issues with web search.

How long has this been going on? What useless programs were they? I can't think of any that would stop Google searches. It's not like they share engines, only 2 are chromium - Edge & Chrome. Firefox isn't one. And you can only log in to a google account on one (I mean, Chrome shows your Google name in the top right, whereas Edge shows logged on username, and Firefox has its own account structure). So how do 3 different browsers all share slow search? https://support.google.com/websearch/......load?hl=en

Google search takes a long time on Chrome, Edge, and Firefox (Chrome is the main one right now). Google Images loads but also slowly. When I click an image, nothing happens; it just stays black or dark. If my theme is off, those images appear white instead of colored. Bing and DuckDuckGo work fine on all three browsers. This started happening about a week ago. I tried fixing things from the internet by clearing cache, resetting settings, reinstalling, and none worked. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance. It's not really because my internet is slow.
