Strange client side issues possibly caused by JF music player in Chrome - SimplifyAndAddCoffee - 2023-08-02

Asking here first because of a hunch, and because I have to start somewhere... has anyone experienced issues like this before? 

Dell Precision 3480 BIOS v1.3.0 
64GB RAM, i7-1370P
Windows 10 Pro 22H2 10.0.19045.3208
Chrome 114.0.5735.199 enterprise managed
Jellyfin server 10.8.10 Docker build by linuxserver.io running on UNRAID, reverse proxy through SWAG 

symptoms:

While working during the day, I will go to Jellyfin Home>Music>Albums and hit shuffle. I will get through maybe a couple hours of music before music playback either begins to stutter/pause between tracks or stops altogether. My ping times to the local gateway and beyond will shoot up abruptly from ~15-20ms to 400+ms at this point, and continue to get steadily worse while chrome pages start to fail to load. This continues until pings are timing out at 10k+ ms and nothing loads. Exiting chrome will fix the ping, but then starting it again will immediately return it to the state it was at when I exited. Only clearing the browser cache will fix it, and will do so even without restarting chrome.... but then a few hours after starting playing music in JF again, the cycle repeats. 

This happens whether I am on the local network, or a remote VPN. Once the problem starts, anything and everything that uses HTML5 video stutters or stops playing, and the JF web menus all lag, or fail to load completely.
