Had noticed late last week my chrome browser pages were taking a long time to load on home network.

Did my usual novice poking around my router & on these boards with nothing unusual to speak of.

Then today this came out:

https://gizmodo.com/mysterious-re-routing-of-google-traffic-could-have-been-1830398777

https://blog.thousandeyes.com/internet-vulnerability-takes-down-google/

https://www.bankinfosecurity.com/who-hijacked-googles-web-traffic-a-11699

And by this afternoon, the pages mysteriously loaded like normal again.
I think it's been happening for longer than just a few hours since my pages exhibited degraded performances as early as Friday of last week.
