Sorry for the offtopic, but may I ask you to reconsider moving to chrome?

Here's a great thread about what google does to the web currently. https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/d2DuB/psa-google-is-trying-to-kill-the-open-web

They already started blocking ad-blockers on youtube btw.

frame issues, and when playing dead by daylight, if i alt tab while waiting for a game, and started watching youtube, the video will be playing (sound) but the video its self would be at a stop, its strange, it never used to happen

that could literally be a youtube issue i described above. they started blocking ad-blockers and it leads to this. my wife has the same issue in chrome

That is probably because Youtube is forcing AV1 on your particular setup. Try this addon:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/enhanced-h264ify/

Go to options and mark "block AV1" (and VP9 if you want to force H.264 on Youtube). The actual resource hog is AV1 because not all video cards use hardware acceleration with it, only the latest models (and not all of them). Youtube uses AV1, VP9 and H.264.

Tell me about the results. Don't leave Firefox for that! :)

That is great!

i dont have the option to view in 1440p

Probably that particular video do not have that resolution, try with a 4K video like this one:

You only really need to mark "block AV1", VP9 and VP8 are very light on resources, they should not give you problems. Youtube do not use VP8 anymore.

I believe this is the script you're looking for: Group Info Hover

PS: If you're moving away from Firefox, I suggest Opera/Opera GX (which are Chromium-based) instead of Chrome. Chrome is too much of a resource hog.
