Safari 13 hangs using whatsapp
Connecting to web.whatsapp.com hangs Safari 13.

Thank you Eric, but that is ludicrous. The remedy sounds worse than the illness (in my case)
Question marked as
Are you running any anti - virus programs? Using a VPN?
Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.

Thank you again Eric. No, no anti - virus programs and no VPN.
Again, in my case the remedy sounds worse than the illness.
Hello Chrome/Firefox et al. Goodbye Safari :`(
No Eric I am not. I am not the only person having the problem and the problem exists in Safari Preview and has for some time and reported by others.
Why should we contact whatsapp support if the problem is clearly in Safari 13?
Any other browser has this problem, only Safari 13.
Yes I think it is resolved. At least it isn't immediately hanging when I start to type in a chat.

It began to hang again :(
Happens to me too. It was gone for a few days, but now it's back
Safari version 13.0.1 worked for a while normally, but today Whatsapp started to hang again.
This happens on other websites too. I found a way to reproduce it:
https://jsfiddle.net/danield770/YvCHW/4246/
Just try to use the dropdown control there, the list doesn't appear. Then, continuing to use the browser will freeze it.
Also, the same issue is reported here:
