        @thegeneral As far as I know, YouTube uses VP8/9 by default.

            @thegeneral I was just saying that it could be a reason for the problem you've mentioned.

              Most likely that's because the decoding for h.264 is hardware-accelerated while vp8/vp9 is not. VP9 acceleration depends on your CPU and GPU for one. Then, Opera would have to take advantage of it and it might depend on OS, but not sure.

                If you have a Youtube account, can be enabled on Settings.

                        Ok. I'm not saying for certain lack of hardware-acceleration is the reason. Just saying that it might be.

                                    If AV1 is what you prefer, check it and test.

                                        Check your CPU/GPU, if still high or normal.

                                            Then you can disable/delete the extension - if not done yet -.
