Strange high CPU usage on youtube videos

  I was playing some random Youtube videos in Edge and I noticed some unusual noise coming from the radiator fans (I have a custom fan curve based on CPU temp)   I looked into my motherboard debug...

Yeah, I also think it's something related to this antiadblock war too

I have ublock installed 

 

But it's strange I don't have the same thing on firefox+ublock.

 

I still don't have any idea how to stop that.

It's really annoying hearing my pc fans ramping up just for a 1080p low bitrate video 

 

What was google motto time ago?

 

Don't be evil

 

Well played google, well played.

Skryabin I've solved the issue. In my case, i use Opera browser and i've been using uBlockOrigin adblocker since Operas implementation stopped working since Google starting going hard on adblockers. 

 

At first i thought it was uBlockOrigin...but no, it was the Opera browser default adblocker which i forgot to disable. I disabled the default adblocker, left the uBlockOrigin running...and everything started working like a charm with the same CPU usage%...but there is apsolutely NO stuttering, lagging or bugs. 

 

If you got the same issue, it's 100000000% the adblocker, whichever you have. IF you don't have an adblocker, maybe you had one before...reinstall the whole browser...if you NEVER used one, tell Google to f themselves and hope for a fast patch.
