          @thegeneral Probably YouTube didn't enable it for you yet.

                  @thegeneral I didn't show you anything related to Testtube. I don't even use it.

                      Maybe appears after accessand modify in TestTube.

                      @leocg
                      I've seen MP4, WebM, and some others on Downloader Extensions/UserScrips for YouTube.

                      Despite that, the codec would still be h264.

                      I don't know and didn't tested, but not sure if those can use h264.

                          If you download YouTube videos with some programs, they are split and the files, Audio/Video and others have to be combined.

                              @zalex108 Those are containers and not codecs.

                                I saw it as a Flag and for some Mac users fixed high CPU problems on video.

                                Didn't read recent changelogs.

                                  Just about h264 onto them, and seems that WebM don't.

                                      My problem seems similar to yours.

                                      https://forums.opera.com/topic/36190/high-cpu-usage-watching-youtube

                                      I came to the conclusion that there is something wrong with the sound in the latest version of the opera.

                                          @thegeneral Mute the sound in the youtube tab you are watching and watch if the CPU usage is less.
                                          Read carefully what is in the subject what I sent you.
