Nope (but I have an adblocker extension).

Are you using Chrome? It *should* be better using Safari as Chrome is CPU greedy.

It does if I'm not signed in - all the ads popping up all over the place make my MacBook work hard.

It's fine if I'm signed in. No ads. 🙂

(Firefox 79.0 on OS X 10.15.6, FWIW)

I’m using Safari , it has calmed down a bit now but sometimes it is mad, end up coming off and it then cools back down quite quick.

Will keep an eye on if it’s worse not signed in thanks

Hey all,

Tom from the tech team here. We have had issues with some users fans spinning up and have found that this can be because of some extensions they may have installed. The biggest culprit making the fan spin up for some users was Adblock Plus.

So my suggestion would be to turn any extensions off one by one and see if that has any effect. Give it 5 minutes of browsing the site with every extension you turn off to allow the device to cool down and the fans to settle.

If you still continue to have troubles with the fan spinning up and can confirm it is not due to any extensions, please follow the instructions below to create a performance profile to send to us.

1) Record and save a performance profile
2) Submit the recorded performance profile to https://singletrackworld.com/help/
3) We will be in touch afterwards after reviewing and analysing the profile to help figure out why the fan maybe spinning up on the site

Thanks Tommathy, It is actually working fine just now, I’ll keep this in mind though if it starts going daft again .

Tut tut.

I don't have it specifically for when I am browsing here - I use local news websites and various trade websites quite extensively so it's more specifically aimed at reducing noise when browsing those.
