    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

    • Wow, Shape, that really was it. What a waste of energy, I didn't even notice that glow before.
      Thank you very much.

    • @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
