I Couldn't Take It Anymore! Troubleshooting a Chrome Freeze and Filing an Official Bug with Gemini

Background
I have no idea when it started, but whenever I launched Chrome on my PC, it would mysteriously freeze for one to two minutes. If you’re willing to just sit and wait, it’s not the end of the world.
But one night, staring at that completely frozen Chrome window, I snapped. I had to fix this.
First, I updated to the latest version. Didn’t work.
I uninstalled and reinstalled it. Didn’t work.
I wiped every trace of browser cache, reinstalled, logged in, and it froze again.
