I do not watch broadcast TV or listen to commercial radio because I can't tolerate the advertising. I have a low tolerance for advertising, especially the animated ones. The main reason I got Adguard was not for it's anti-virus/malware protection but rather to circumvent as much online advertising as possible. But if I refresh the OWC pages while Adguard is running, Activity Monitor shows "Safari Networking" jumps right back up to abnormally high CPU/RAM utilization. If I start Adguard with the OWC pages already open in tabs, activity remains normal. If I quit Adguard and then load the OWC webpages, Activity Monitor shows no abnormal CPU/memory use. Before posting here, I thought I had already ruled out Adguard, but today's test suggests that Adguard is the problem. Thanks so much for encouraging me to test Adguard. Your reply confirms my initial suspicion that if there was something fundamentally wrong with the OWC webpages, there would be other complaints - so I wanted to determine if troubleshooting on my end was indicated. ![]() If I delete the Cookie for OWC () the excess activity does not occur when I open the first OWC webpage - but that re-reinstalls the cookie, and opening a second OWC page cause the problem to return.Ĭan I assume the fault lies entirely with the OWC website, or is it possible there is something wrong with my system? I can post EtreCheck logs if necessary. The problem does not occur in Safe Boot Mode. Closing the OWC webpages usually allows the heavy CPU use to return to normal, but sometimes I have to quit Safari. I have not noticed the problem with other websites (but it's possible I just didn't notice). ![]() either alone or when several other OWC web pages are opened in tabs. I believe the problem is triggered by visiting some OWC () web pages such as: Activty Monitor shows "Safari Networking" using 300% CPU and several GB of RAM. While using Safari sometimes my fans ramp up due to overheating CPUs.
