Safari Memory Issues after 12.3.1

[stumpapi]

Ugh, this is getting on my nerves. Safari is constantly showing the error:

"This webpage is using significant memory. Closing it may improve the responsiveness of your Mac."

I have only logged into one page to work, and it appears very quickly while doing so. Interestingly, doing the same thing while using Brave or Edge, I have no issues.

Is this a MacOS or Safari Issue? Any suggestions other than sticking with alternative browsers?

i would restart, zap the pram
or empty the cache first
i had that on CBS sports 2 weeks ago during the ncaa's
and those things i did worked.

and Safari 14 won't stream HBO and other sites like that anymore.

i hoped this helped!

Thanks, but this option is not available for Apple Silicon Macs.

Not helpful but saw your message glanced over at the same message on my other screen then looked into what it was actually using...

Checking activity monitor:

That's less than 5% of my 64GB....

I'd call that an erroneous message that means literally nothing.

Thank you, interesting. However, if I ignore the message the Safari window will go black and reload after a while so something is happening.

This message has been popping up for literally years. I liken it to a memory leak. It still happens with even 32G of RAM so throwing more memory at it won’t help.

It's a Safari issue ... We've developed some apps and web pages and Safari's limited memory management is a nightmare. We got constant memory messages during testing. Pages that are a problem in Safari work well in Chrome. Personally, if you need a better browser try Chrome.
