There are a few places to see what may be cause of the symptoms you've noted.

And there's more support article links; somewhere to start. See Activity Monitor?

There are some offhand items that may have appeared in browser, unwanted

potential problematic items that suggest or urge you to download or use them

avoid those since they aren't necessarily a good thing.


Adware, malware, popups in browser, & other miscreant busywork items, to avoid.

'False' can be bad news.


Good luck & happy trails!🌻🌤
