It looks like there's some requestAnimationFrame call going on more than once per second. It's definitely an energy intensive tab.

But for reference, keeping CNN.com open is more than double that memory pressure on my 5 year old Mac laptop, and it handles both fine. Do your fans really kick in for heavy sites?

https://lite.cnn.com/ is the only version you should load :p

I have an 8 year old laptop that works fine except as long as I don't bother with sites like CNN.com. Heck, I even have a 13 year old laptop that works fine on most sites. Absurd ad-tech and tracking technology is not a motivation for me to upgrade but to avoid badly coded sites.
