Anybody else has issues playing videos on non-chromium browsers on PC? At first I thought it was google throttling yt for competitors, but no, even bitchute, telegram, and other websites I don't know play videos just as painfully slowly both on vivaldi and brave.

I'd guess the graphics driver isn't installed. Sounds like CPU with frame buffer vs GPU acceleration. Do you need to set a browser option to enable GPU acceleration?

Not a lot to go on here.

I turned off "hardware acceleration" on Brave and it fixed it. Weird. I don't remember turning that on, I thought my CPU was the bottleneck, and I always had my GPU driver installed anyway. Thanks man.
