news app causing overheating

[Eee1111]

when I open random pages that I believe have twitter or other social media boxes in the story my cpu temps skyrocket

com.apple.WebKit.WebContent is the rouge process

it jumps to 150% Cpu usage and temps rise quickly when the process appears

"Overheating" is a very specific term. Do your temperatures exceed 100°C?

In any case, I recommend reporting to Apple and sending them a relevant spindump.

I kill the process and quit news. Temps fall quick back to normal.

Highest I’ve seen it go is about 76c

And that is QUICK. Under 10 seconds.

I’ll do that. I can make this happen easily by opening News and any page that has social media posts in it. Like twitter and Instagram.

Highest I’ve seen it go is about 76c

that’s actually a relatively low temperature. If you push the cpu it’ll likely move around 95C

no matter the temp it seems an unnecessarily high cpu usage so yeah do report it.
