For the last few days, every time I attempt to open an article link, the browser freezes up shortly after navigating to the page.

Can not read SA News items using Safari on my Mac

For the past few days I have been unable to access ANY SA News item.  I receive an onscreen error msg, "Yikes.  Something Went Wrong."  I am able to access regular articles however on every attempt.  I am running Catalina 10.15.7 and using Safari 14.0.1.  I'm able to access SA News items on Firefox (83.0) and Chrome 87.0.4280.88 - just not on my preferred browser Safari.  Hope you can fix this issue.  Thanks!

The web site keeps freezing on me.  I can access the news feed, but as soon as I start to scroll down the entire site freezes.

I used to read SA EVERY DAY on my iPad. Now every time I call up an artical it is blocked be a notice demanding Get the App.  I don’t want the app. I want to read it in the safari browser in my iPad. You have ruined it for me.

Forced to get an app to read news on SA?!? That's a huge mistake by them! What about people who only use desktops to access the site? And how the hell can you read SA on a cellphone to start with? The amount of scrolling needed must be irritating beyond belief. BTW, they broke the website for older Mozilla based browsers too - is Safari based on Mozilla? What's really irritating is that nobody from SA has replied to ANY of these posts complaining about loss of use of the website in browsers - it's like they don't care they're losing eyeballs. If I had a Pro paid account and they did this to me I'd be screaming bloody murder - actually, that may be why they're ignoring us, we don't pay their exorbitant annual fee for Pro access.

still not working.  On activity monitor, safari ramps up to 150% CPU usage only on SA and then freezes up.  No issues with any other website.

I have experienced the same problem for the past couple of weeks.  Pages freeze or don't load.  I have Safari 14.0.1.

Same issues with no real info on status of fix/update. Disappointing. Like many others, I prefer Safari and all too often, like 3 out of 4 attempts to browse items, I ge the "Yikes" message. What is the status?

I've been experience this for some time as well. Just found this thread. Sometimes reloading the page works. I just tried using the Top Stocks Screener page and it froze completely. I just opened Activity Monitor and the SA website was over 200% CPU usage.
