In Safari on macOS, most Example embeds crash the tab or freeze the OS

[KelseyHigham]

Since this impacts the ability to use Safari to read documentation, I think it makes sense not to embed Examples in Safari. Or at least hide them behind a play button.

Tested in macOS Monterey 12.2.1, on this Intel Mac.

Definitely :+1: to disabling autoplay and/or making it opt-in

This is technically resolved by deleting the embeds :confused-yay:

Moving to WebGPU will also probably work much better in Safari.
