Computer memory / performance issues. Do a clean-up. Add RAM. Switch to better performance from better appearance. Etc.

16gb aint enough lol> imac 27 , top of line, ssd hdd, 16gb ram, all updates, if memory was bad it would happen on other browsers or apps, only happens when you specifically open a new tab.
