minus-squareunperson [he/him]hexbear20·10 months agoyewtube gives you 720p H.264, which your laptop almost certainly can decode in hardware. YouTube gives you higher resolution VP9, which your laptop probably needs to decode with the CPU. Install the h264ify extension to force youtube to give you H.264. You'll be limited to 1080p. link
