Whenever I try to watch…

  • live streams of tennis matches on YouTube
  • use WatchParty with a friend
  • T2 (on Amazon, Plex, etc.)
  • live stream of the Netflix Slam
  • PlutoTv on desktop browser

I see the Brave CPU jump into the high 30s. When it gets even higher, the image can lag and the fan turns on which is annoying, distracting, & loud.

  1. I don’t use extensions. They only cause more problems in the long run.
  2. Shields are always enabled.
  3. Graphics Acceleration, Memory Saver, & Energy Saver are always enabled.
  4. I’ve seen conflicting advice: turn off hardware acceleration. No, turn on Hardware acceleration. So, I disregard & just keep whatever was there.

How do we fix this given the plethora of now closed threads on this subject dating back to 2020?
