Google Chrome time zone and Maps defaulting to Africa?

Over the past week I've noticed when I look up a sporting event it sets me to GMT+1 time zone, and opening google maps puts me in Niger. This happens when I use Chrome on my desktop and my iPhone, but google on FireFox is the correct time zone and IP address. I've checked my location setting, time zone settings, and devices linked to my google account and they are all set to my correct location/time zone and only my devices are listed. I can't find anything online about fixing this that I haven't already checked and is correct. Is anyone else experiencing this or know something else that could cause it? Also I don't use a VPN so that is not applicable.

Can anybody help me plzzzzz :D ?

Very laggy when watching youtube or playing browser games

Hey guys, so recently, I'd say starting around a month ago, my chrome has been lagging terribly when watching youtube videos, like very annoyingly so. This makes no sense to me as I have a very strong computer and my internet is outstanding.

I have seen some people saying it is because of adblock, but I dont have adblock on my chrome. I do have Ublock origin on Firefox, but i toggled that off and the issue persisted. Besides, I dont think having it on FF would make a difference, would it?

Any advice? Im hoping its not malware because I really dont wanna have to wipe my computer and start all over :(

It lags even on the simplest of things like agar.io or spinning 7tv crates lol.

Please help! Thanks!

Chrome on Android doesn't save the correct URL when I use "add to homescreen"

I want to use an icon on my Android homescreen to quickly open a page.

When I save the link of the exact page i want within chrome as "add to homescreen" and then test the shortcut afterwards it doesn't work.

For example my page is http://asd.xyz/thisexactpage/ it will only save or open http:/asd.xyz/.

What is this shit?

Is there a way to manipulate the stored link afterwards? Like I can edit shortcuts on windows for example?
