High cpu usage (feddit.ch)

When I play a video from odysee.com on LibreWolf it uses 2-3x the cpu that Brave does to play the same video. It also turns on the fans in my laptop which signals overburden. My laptop has plenty of power so I"m wondering what the problem is. Have I missed a setting or is this just how LibreWolf works?

The post you linked to recommends disabling hardware acceleration. This does not seem to be my issue. Also you told me to ask @librewolf but that leads back to this forum. Is there someone with that name or did you mean to make another post?

@opt9 I knew how to check if HW accel was enabled. Beyond that I'm just spitballing. 🙂 You could raise an issue on their gitlab.
