    I knew peertube but never used it before. I was very surprised to be able to watch 1080@60fps at x2 speed totally smoothly, while with youtube I have to reduce to 720@30fps and even then it still hogs the cpu.

      Yeah same here. Not to mention that recently they started nagging you a lot when using ad-blocker. And not to mention all the Google spyware going on on Youtube

      Maybe it’s just me but a few months ago, it seems youtube got much heavier. My laptop fans ramp when using it almost every time

        Probably all the new ad-blocking blocking, telemetry, and data harvesting.

        I’ve noticed that ublock will sometimes be blocking 1,000+ scripts while on YouTube. That’s gotta have an effect of all those are active.

          Well 1000 script requests, since they’re being blocked. It’s not actually 1000 unique scripts.

          I hope

      I wasn’t able to run it at 480p for more than 5-6 seconds without it buffering. I have gigabit fiber.

        Guess it’ll depend on who’s providing the video at any given time. It’s peer to peer, after all
