Since last week both my macbooks pro (2015 private and 2019 company's) are having issues with youtube: Using firefox or safari the cpu usage is so high that the fan starts blowing so loud I stop watching YT-videos because it annoys me. Other cpu intensive sites aren't that bad.
Anyone else experienced this? The web is full of old tipps and tricks, but nothing new that.And yes, I did turn it off and on agains as IT also suggested.
- Probably YouTube shipped some new shitcode. Might be a new codec or some ad tracker. nothing you can do but hope they fix it. Report a bug, if you carenb
- Yes, I guess so. But I just wonder why it's only me.Longcopylover
- does it do it when its set to 480p?rootlock
- Probably the 'ambient' mode effect https://blog.youtube…...shapesalad
- that puts a glow around the video - but obviously is cpu/gpu intensive for a web browser to calculate and update.shapesalad
- click the 'cog' in the player to turn off the mode.shapesalad
- JULY 2018: youtube supports vertical video on all platforms, SEP 2020 vertical video is now shorts, cant be played on tv
NOV 2022 shorts can now be played on tvkingsteven - Longcopylover's MBP: "hold my drink"kingsteven
- Wow, Shape, that really was it. What a waste of energy, I didn't even notice that glow before.
Thank you very much.Longcopylover - @kingsteven: Nah, these vertical videos I have turned off/hidden. Who would watch that on a desktop PC?Longcopylover
- more a comment on how retarded the YT is. adding 'glow' to bring back a feature that worked better 4 years agokingsteven
- Welcome. I noticed the glow after the shitty ui update. Turned that right off. it’s like a shitty css effect you do as a junior designer thinking it’s cool...shapesalad
- Hahahaha omgnb
- likely an inside job to slow down computers.rootlock
