im just trying to watch some youtube, thats it, nothing else running in the background or anything i also turned off the limiters for the browser and its still runnning slow. but its only in this browser, i can go to chrome and be just fine. when i try and pause the video it takes like 6 seconds for it to do anything and its constantly freezing. ive rulled out everything on my side so it has to be the browser in some type of way, which is a bummer as i actually enjoy this browse.
Another thing, why is it using 20% of my cpu just to watch 1 video in 1080p. i can play games at max settings and use less than that makes no since.

@mrmite If the video codec is not supported by hardware acceleration, that amount of CPU usage is kinda normal.

@leocg ok now what about it being so slow and taking so long to pause and all of that stuff?
