Safari Misbehaving Redux

I am finding Safari 18.3 (Mac OS Sequoia) not handling well websites with comments sections
(i.e.WAPO at least)
My remedy is repeatedly: Safari > Settings > Privacy > Manage Website Data > Remove All

Anyone else having this issue?

I haven’t noticed any issues like that, and just checked the Washington Post site: no problems looking at comments.

Do you have any ad blocking / privacy extensions that may be interfering with the site?

Nope,
I also found it curious that simply emptying Cache from the Dev Menu didn’t do the trick, as sometimes does when sites act funny, don’t load, or buffer correctly.
I need to go into setting and manually, so to speak, removing cached items from within Settings.
hmm
