      So recently ive seen that watching videos or streams gets my cpu percentage high, even hits 100%. Any suggestions how to fix it?

            @kildor184 What codecs are used in those videos? Some may require a lot of the CPU, specially those that can't be hardware accelerated.

              @kildor184 There is nothing you can do about it. I have high CPU usage all the time since the release of Opera 64.
