CNN works well in Firefox and Chrome, but not in Safari

The problem I have with CNN.com and Safari is that the main site will open, cnn.com, but clicking on any links inside CNN will take Safari minutes to fetch the link. I try the same thing with Firefox and Chrome and there is no problem. The only site Safari has trouble with is CNN. I don't have an issue with any other site.

I am using Sonoma 14.4.1 and Safari 17.4.1.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 14.4

I found the problem. If I have either Apple's private relay on, or CloudFlare's Warp active, CNN slows to crawl. They both do similar things. As long as I have neither of them active, CNN works fine. Turn on one, and CNN is unusable.

What I do notice is that Safari Console is full of errors on CNN.com such as:

etc., etc., etc.,

Errors appear in the consoles of Firefox and Chrome too, but just a fraction of the errors Safari shows. There must be some security setting in Safari that trips up CNN much more than other sites.
