When I have more than one window open and hear my cooling fans rev up and hang there, I also go to task manager and the culprit usually is easy to spot. Whether its ads or whatever, I take the part of the browser exe I don't recognize and kill it.
Also restarting a browser and watching task manager may offer a clue if you're not familiar with any of it.
