On my 2019 i9 iMac with 64GB of RAM, sometimes this site becomes unresponsive due to ads and the site crashes/reloads. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I don't really want to resort to blocking ads, but when a site becomes unusable due to them it makes it difficult to enjoy the site.
I hang (and need to restart Safari) periodically on the home page and forums. It is probably dependent on what ad is trying to display.
One interesting thing is that the MacRumors web pages display almost instantaneously while the ads take awhile to load on the page.
I haven't experienced it on other websites.
edit: With the mention of Javascript, I took a look at my computer.
I had Java installed and enabled so I disabled Java and found the website was loading better and that I could navigate without having to wait for the ads to load.
Could it be an issue with Javascript vs Java running on a computer ?
