Running macOS Ventura 13.6, Safari 17.0 (18616.1.27.111.22, 18616).
Since I updated to Safari 17.0, DuckDuckGo has become unreliable. The page often locks up, at which point it doesn't allow me to scroll, click on a link, or type in the search box on the webpage. It's the only website that seems to have this issue.
Is this happening to anyone else, and is there a way of fixing this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Similar issue: MacOS 13.6, DuckDuckGo, and sometimes the page won't scroll with the trackpad or scroll-wheel, sometimes after scrolling part-way down the page stops responding to trackpad or scroll-wheel scrolling. Reloading the page sometimes works. But I don't think this is limited to DuckDuckGo as I've had the same issues on other sites in Safari since updating the 13.6. Think this is a Safari issue as Chrome which I use roughly as much on the same Mac I've not had any issues.
I suspect the problem is triggered by some ads that display. A common trait with all the sites I've had issues with is all display ads.
I enabled a Safari extension I had previously used (Ka-Block!), and this week haven't had weird scrolling or lockups with DuckDuckGo or other sites. Also forgot how fast browsing is without the constant barrage of images and videos loading trying to get your attention.
Still the same on 17.1 for me. DuckDuckGo just lags, and Apple's engineers are absolute garbage sometimes. May have to wait for the hip and cool new supposed new Mac OS release with a bunch more features we dont need to fix it.
Mother nature?
