Safari reloading websites because of "significant use of memory".

Is there a way to disable Safari reloading websites that "use significant memory" ?

It is really annoying, I basically can't watch anything on Disney+. My Macbook is plugged in while this happens.

It basically makes streaming on Disney+ unbearable and I don't want to switch to another browser like FireFox or Chrome.

Is there a solution to this problem ?

Thank you :)


So it seems Safari only re-loads your Disney channel when it needs to update something "using significant memory" on another tab ? Could be switching the memory used back and forth ?

Solution may be to temporarily close the other tab(s) when you want to focus on Disney channel ?

OR

Wondering if it might be worth running "diagnostics" to see if anything untoward shows up there ?
