I've noticed if I have this website open my computer's fan starts running more. I looked at Task Manager and opening Poal in a Firefox tab makes the CPU usage jump from 3-4% to 18-23%, and my GPU jumps up from 0-1% to 18-21%. This is just from opening the front page, not loading vidoes or doing anything else. For context, I'm using a decent laptop from 2019 with a dedicated graphics card, 16GB RAM, 4-core i7 CPU, etc. What the hell kind of scripts are running on Poal that it's using so much computing power? Is this happening to anyone else's computer?
EDIT: I tried turning the snow off, and that made some difference but it's still using too much power. CPU goes up by about 14% and GPU goes up by about 7% from opening this website and it doesn't drop until I close the tab. What is the GPU working on with an unchanging webpage?
EDIT 2: I tried this with another browser (Chrome). Same thing happens-- the CPU and GPU jump up and don't drop for as long as the tab is open.
