The site on safari freezes up shortly after opening an article.
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

Do I stop using my Macbook Air and Safari, or Seeking Alpha? Well, I'm not going to stop using my mac. (And not using Chrome because it eats my battery). I hate to say goodbye to SA, but don't really have a choice.
Hi,

never had the issue after many faithful years with SA. Now Safari on MacBook (not phone it seems) constantly reloads and uses too much energy. I do not understand why, heavier data sites are no issue. You are doing something in the background I am worried about....please fix!
It's still freezing on Safari at times. It seems to be mostly later in the day. Do you realize that 18% of all computer users, use Safari? That's a lot of potential users and views that you are missing. In my business, if I had a way to increase business 18%, it would be my highest priority.
I haven't experienced this in the last few days but I do see a different new problem with Safari. When I enter company symbols in the search box it tried to do a "spell check". I have to click "x" on the suggestion before hitting return. Anyone else seeing this. I just checked and it does not happen in chrome. This could be a new Apple default that has to be overridden by the web programmers.

The site freezes when I try to read the Latest news and articles on my portfolio. Completely freezes on Safari and slows, almost freezes and takes a while to display next page of headlines on Chrome.
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.
See my comment below.

On several separate occasions I indicated on this site that my emails have been cancelled for no reason and that when I click on the link to restore them that has proved ineffective. I also indicated that I read SA articles daily, comment frequently on them, have over 700 followers and invest in reliance on some of the points made in some of the articles after verification. I have yet to receive your response to these notices.
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!
