  "textContent": "Hey @thistlillo, that’s a rough experience, especially when it works fine on your M1.\n\nShort answer: Intel Macs can run ChatGPT in browser, but older hardware + modern web app = lag after a few prompts.\n\nMost common causes:\n\n  * **Memory pressure** after long chats → things start freezing\n  * **Extensions** interfering (ad blockers, etc.)\n  * **Hardware acceleration issues** on Intel GPUs\n  * **Long threads** getting heavy to render\n\n\n\nWhat’s helped others:\n\n  * Use Chrome/Brave in **incognito** (no extensions)\n  * Turn **hardware acceleration off**\n  * Start a **new chat more often**\n  * Keep fewer tabs open\n\n\n\nIf one browser felt slightly better, worth tweaking that one further.\n\n-Mark G.",
