Step 3. Turn off Extensions you are not using in Chrome - Three dots (top right) then More Tools > Click on your Extensions. I turned WebEx and anything else I was not using any longer.
Step 4. At this point if you are still noticing Google Chrome being sluggish in myCourses – try doing a Safety Check first to double check your Google Chrome is really up-to-date in an effort to avoid clearing your cache (step 5 below).
a) Open up your Google Chrome browser
b) Click on the three dots on the top-right corner
c) Select Settings
