Webpage using significant energy / memory on Mac

Wow - thank you so much for your reply. Have you noticed that it started a few months ago? Was never a problem before.

And mine happens on Pinterest, and blogs which load video's or photos.

Strange.......

Thank you for the Chrome tip. I think thats what I'll do

I realise that it only happens when opening Facebook on Safari. No problems with other webpages. Not sure if this is a problem with the Facebook webpage or Safari browser. So far nobody has a satisfying answer to this problem. Frustrating!!

I agree! But why is Apple unable to fix this? I swear that every time I spoke with someone from Apple they all

ap peared to have never seen this problem. Now I see pages of people with the same issue.

If they are not moderating this board, I'd like to contact them directly. I just find it unacceptable.

And they said the same thing about the extensions on Safari.

I'm not sure why I would have to modify the way I use my computer because there is no fix to use it as intended? OR pay over $500 to "fix" it. 😠

My problem started 8/4/2018 after watching a video in the Facebook newsfeed and trying to end it. Everything works flawless for me in group pages and my profile page. I also can't IM from my newsfeed, I can only IM from my profile page.

I'm at a loss and don't want to use Chrome for facebook. UGH

Not 1answer that actually works,this is ******** Apple ,its your systems program for Fsake , sort it out , ruining the life span of my hardware cause of your broken software , every time i use safari i close this notice/warning every 10 mins sometimes 5 , not acceptable at all, this will prob be deleted as we know how ye don't like negative feed back visable to the general public

Why should I pay $2500.00 for my iMac and not be able to use Safari? The same bull**** happens in Chrome and none of it happened until I updated to High Sierra. This is on Apple who seems to not care about their customers.

After reading the initials posts about this problem, at least on this thread, dating back to April of 2018, I skipped to the last page and found the apparent answer that Apple has ceased to support things the rest of the world continues to support "in the name of progress". Great. Same thing with the forced usage of USB-C, right? Are they making a conscious effort to drive people away from their platform, oh "in the name of progress", of course? I guess I'm a legacy person living in a progressive world (which, BTW, is not obliged to be Apple-centric).

Hmm let me see Safari is working on my behalf? Sorry I know you're trying to help but I don't think so and the following comments are directed to Apple Corp so nothing personal.

Hey Tim - do you seriously think my brand new >$2k Mac should constantly give me a warning "This webpage is using significant energy. Closing it may improve the responsiveness of your Mac" for playing NETFLIX??????

WHY DON'T YOUR SOFTWARE ENGINEERS improve the responsiveness of my Mac!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a total Apple issue that I can buy a cheap no-name brand laptop and watch Netflix with NO PROBLEM but my MacBook Pro (PRO!) cannot handle Netflix and there is absolutely no way to turn this annoying message OFF!!!!!!

Focus on performance and have your software team fix all these issues (including flickering video watching Netflix on Safari) with a software update (for the amount of money we pay you would think an Apple software engineer could respond to these forums and at the very least say they will look into it).

I always get this error especially when I am on my yahoo page. It does not come up when I am on Google. It's annoying and it slows down browsing. I never had this before Steve Jobs RIP. This company slowly not what it used to be. :(

This issue has been going on and on, and it's highly annoying. Apple please fix this nonsense with your OpenGL support. I spent 5 grand on an iMac Pro and have this issue, and between the bitrate issue with the audio and this annoying openGL issue, which happens predominantly with Safari, it's highly irritating. FIX YOUR SH#$

Agreed! Ever since I updated the software, I get this error message. I thought it was Apple's way of getting me to buy a new computer... Apple I've been a customer since 2000 but the quality of your products just isn't the same. Can you please get it together?

I'm not sure if anyone is still following this conversation but I am constantly getting the messages this page is using significant energy or memory. It started after installing the new operating system and got significantly worse after just installing a new update just today. What can be done about this? I am pretty sure it has something to do with the new operating system.

Let me just say I miss Steve Jobs :(

While many did not appreciate him so much as a person. I can say he always made sure his products matched the price. He absolutely cared about his product, and those who paid for it. I have up until recent been a huge fan of Apple computers especially to support my music projects.

My system is up in age a bit but, not so old that it is part of the problem. Many apple purchasers have this complaint. So, if at some point the current Apple generation decides to up their game on the quality of it's products. I for one will continue to work on my older system until it breaks, and purchase another product outside of Apple because of their lack of care and responsiveness. I too got the same response of them not taking accountability for fixing this issue or at least admitting the cause. I also agree for the cost of their products to disregard customers is ridiculous about system issues.

Yeah,

so everyone who is trying to find fix for this just reply to this thread, maybe apple really will add option to this where user can accept that some sites just uses memory...

there is ofcourse another fix to this, start using chrome.. and I am seriously thinking about this..

It seams like that the only way we can be free for that to pop up all the time is to install Chrome on the machine.. Safari should have made an option where we can select our self if we want that warning or not.. If we play online game or stream movies then we are fully aware that we use a lot of memory so we don't need to be reminded every few minutes about that.. It's just annoying. And make people use Chrome instead.
