Does anyone get this webpage memory warning on a 16gb M1?

AdGuard does the job and has a much smaller footprint.

Ads can do this. I get a lot of RAM usage on several sites even on my 128GB system.

Not sure if its on Apple Silicon yet, but Brave Browser has ad blocking built in.

This is an 8gb M1 Pro. I got the first beach ball and stuttering.
I have 5 safari windows open with maybe 20-25 tabs.
1 window is Twitch watching a 900p stream
3-4 tabs have trading view charts and trading exchange website - a lot of number crunching/pulling data.
I was watching a YouTube vid and it started freezing.
It settled down after 30 seconds and everything seems ok.
No Fan - or its so quiet I can't hear it...but at 44 degrees unlikely.
It is plugged in but at 100%.
Miles better than my MBP 16gb ram intel.

To be honest this 8gb is fine. But it did for a moment show its limit.
I can easily close a few things I don't need to be on all the time.

Tomorrow I get the 16gb Pro delivered.
I can see which sites are consuming memory on activity monitor.
I'll try the same setup on 16gb and see what happens.
Then I can decide if 16gb is worth it.

Twitch is using 25% cpu and windows server is using 35%.
Both are using around 30-40% GPU
Kernel task about 10% cpu.

Ill decide over the weekend.

Hi!, I’ve experimented the same issue with my 8gb M1 and wondering if 16gb will fixed it. How your story with the 16gb finally ends? Thanks in advance, Marinett

No problems at all with Tradingview on 16GB M1 Air. Swap barely at 100MB

I still get memory warnings on my 16GB MacBook Air with Big Sur 11.4. As far as I can tell Apple didn’t change anything to do with this annoying bug yet. I get it with my bank’s website and on Disney+.

I get this "error" on SquareSpace when I work in it for a while. Refreshing the page does help for a while but eventually it comes back. I think it's because some websites aren't coded with efficiency in mind so the longer you stay on them the more memory they hog.

Typically when I am getting that message I notice the page scrolling slower and acting laggy in general.

There's a couple of issues with Reddit as well with that warning, anything image have shows up that issue.

With Disney+ it looks like Safari has a memory leak. I can watch the amount of memory increase until the video is shut down by Safari. This doesn’t happen on Firefox which leads me to believe that it is a Safari bug.

safari is a totally bad application. whatever the version you use, it eats more RAM, more battery(compared with EDGE) but laggier.

Anyone who used 8GB vs 16GB can give their feedback regarding us who mostly use web apps?

I frequently get the webpage memory warning when I have MLB Gameday running for an ongoing game on my 16/512 m1 Mini.
