All web browsers slow, but applications such as Steam and Skype work fine?

(I'm not really sure where to put this on here since this is my first ever question here so...)
Hi, so at around the beginning of March my browsers have been extremely slow (i.e Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, IE, and so on) however, applications such as Steam and Skype work perfectly fine. I'm able to load videos on Steam and have it be fast but if I try using Chrome or any other browser it usually will partially load the page and the video will freeze a lot.
I have a direct connection to my router and have resetted it multiple times to see if that would fix it but to no avail and on top of that, I've disabled all add ons but that didn't change anything either. I have also tested multiple times for malware and viruses and tried uninstalling the web browsers however nothing seems to have worked. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I would only presume that it could be malware/ a virus, most do not come up if you don't have good anti virus software. It may also be that there is a lot of programs running at once in the background.
