MacBook Air randomly overheats while browsing

You can check Activity Monitor for high resource usage. Start by opening Activity Monitor and regularly monitoring the CPU, Memory, and Energy tabs to identify any processes or apps that are consuming excessive resources, which could lead to overheating.

It’s a good practice to keep an eye on these metrics during your normal usage, especially when running multiple apps or performing intensive tasks. If you notice a particular app consistently using a lot of resources, consider closing it when not in use or finding an alternative that is less demanding.
