Hi there,

just downloaded and installed latest Version of your browser on latest MOS on PowerMacG4.

So far I was really excited by your browser since it worked very smooth even with all those newer bloated web sites.
But now with the latest version wayfarer often consumes 100% of CPU and maybe other ressources while not reacting at all. This lasts from a few seconds upto almost a minute some time.
Do not know what the problem is but did not experience this problem with earlier versions.
For example when using GMX web portal and web mail account page this now regularly freezes for long periods when using it. Was not the case in previous versions.

Is there any way I can download and install any previous version until this problem might be solved?

Thank you in advance for a short reply!

Impossible to say what's going on without further details and I don't think it's likely anything introduced in 2.5. Try a clean install. If you really think it's 2.5, the older versions can be downloaded from https://wayfarer.icu/history

Thank you. Will try.

With latest version I can see this behaviour best when using GMX web portal and GMX online mail account. This site "freezes" wayfarer regularly for longer periods before it reacts. This was not the case in previous versions.
Anything I might be able to provide here (logs or similar)?

Websites change, not just Wayfarer. It's likely the website itself.

By the way, your email server rejects my emails.

Yeah, this behaviour I unfortunately have with several other sites and fora too. They do not work with GMX nor with Freenet unfortunately. :(

Their Site did not really change as far as I can estimate this.

OK. Did a complete clean install of Wayfarer 2.5 - unfortunately the same problem.
CPU usage raises to permanent 100% and Wayfarer does not react anymore. Other programs are still running but of course very slow.

Could this topic be related to the rendering engine since GMX portal runs fine on other devices using different browsers (Firefox, Safari, Edge, ...)?

I managed to get GMX portal loading and working somewhat smoothely on latest OWB - with one big problem: When clicking on mails they will not open and show in the read area. Also other icons related to them (deleting etc.) will not work.

Within Wayfarer GMX portal is not even loading anymore (as described above). Changing any settings (browser identity etc.) did not help.

Are there any kind or detail information I can somehow provide to get this topic more clear (logs, debug infos, system specs, etc.)?

As mentioned in the Wayfarer forum thread: the website is simply too heavy in terms of JavaScript it is running. It works, but needs minutes to run all of the scripts.
