Instagram's web app drains my computer's battery / knocks it into performance mode.
It's obscene for a basic messaging and photo gallery site.

Anyone know?
That's an insult to basic messaging, I've seen better UX in tutorials on writing a chat application/website than the sorry excuse Instagram has. Same goes for their comments.
The UI feels janky and laggy, the Messenger itself has noticeable delays, loading new sections is palpably slow.
I cannot understand how, it's not an absurdly complex SPA doing a lot of computation on client-side, it just loads different modals and views.
On the other hand, a complex app doing loads on the client like Onshape, a CAD modeling webapp is very snappy, and satisfying to use.
I don't get how Meta's webapps can be this intensely heavy, even if heavily unoptimised.
World is fucked. And those who create these invisible rules must be carpet nuclear bombed out of this world.
