Yo @catharsisded ,
I have this issue with youtube livestreams. submited a ticket and no solution yet. Tried a lot of things even other browsers like chrome with the same result, so now switched to firefox only for livestreams.
Twich works just fine but i think other "stream" related websites overloads the ram with "something" idk, ads?

Lets hope for a fast solution.

Hello!
Sereval days ago Yt livestreams started to overload pc my memory and the page got shut down because of it.I tried a lot of things stated in the FAQ, reseting the browser, no addons, clear flags etc. but there is no solution for it.
What i noticed in the Shift+ESC is that my memory is crash about 1,2 gb and the processor useage went over 120%.The process to overload my memory is slowed when i closed the livechat(which is weird because why should stored in my memory) and when i used lower quality like 720p or 480p.

I tried it on both Chrome and Firefox, Chrome did the same but Firefox didn't crashed.

Os:Windows 10
Version: LVL 5 (core: 109.0.5097.62) (other browsers the newest too)
