OzBargain seems to be needing a reload often because it makes my CPU temps soar and lags my laptop. Is this happening to anyone else?

I'm using Safari 15.6.1

Safari actually forces a reload sometimes with "This webpage is using significant energy"

Probably a memory leak on the page. Just refresh the page. You should be using an ad and tracker blocker to limit what any webpage is doing behind the scenes. Also if you're like me and leave your Mac running six months at a time you should kill Safari every now and then, or reset the Mac.

  I have the Safari tracker blocker running and AdGuard at the same time with a couple of custom filters. And I probably shut my Mac down once a fortnight or so. Maybe I can have a look at the Developer and see what's leaking

I wonder if OzBargain is mining crypto from people browsing…

  I was going to joke that Scotty was mining bitcoin, but thought that might get me in the penalty box :(

      Safari is the best browser in the world according to a poll of Tim Cook's feelings about browsers.
