Beach balls in Safari

Safari has become very unresponsive on my 6 week old Mac Mini M1 computer. Getting many beach balls.

Using Safari 14.0.3 and Big Sur, 11.2.3.

All tips will be appreciated.

BTW switched to Firefox with no beach ball issues.

Thank you

Beach ball in Safari I find that when I am using Safari, especially on Twitter or Facebook, I get frequent and annoying beach balls which take about 30 seconds to stop. Things go back to normal, but it happens again and again. It seems like something is trying to load. Using Firefox, it never happens, so it's specific to Safari. Is there some way to identify a process or something to check to see what is causing this in Safari?

Spinning beach ball on MacDailyNews website Within 30 seconds of accessing the MacDailyNews website I get the spinning beach ball. Once I get it cursor no longer works and the only way to get it back again is to close that tabbed window. It doesn't lock up Safari, just the tab it is occupying. I am currently running Mac OS 10.13.6 with Safari Version 13.0.2 (13608.2.40.1.3). This has been happening for a while now with previous versions of Safari as well. Is anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?
