I was hoping that the script would make this page https://www.youtube.com/embed/jfKfPfyJRdk?autoplay=1&mute=1 stop taking 22% of my CPU on Edge (W11) unless I reload the page sometimes, but it didn't do anything.

I am not a magician. You gave me a BAD review meaning nothing.

If you have already enabled "YouTube Audio Only", the 22% usage is due to the YouTube web player's core framework. No script would help.

The 22% usage is hardware / software acceleration. You need to use a browser that supports or do not support hardware acceleration, to see which side makes 22% usage.

Indeed, 22% usage is reasonable.

Otherwise, just upgrade your device.

You can try to disable AV1 too.

Disabling AV1 and VP9 is also possible, but I don't think you can play the above video without both AV1 and VP9. This is the minimum requirement for live media streaming.

Anyway, even a powerful PC with Mac M2 chips, the 22% usage is still a must. When you play a video (or audio), there are networking and decoding.

The decoding part is still not taken part in the GPU side. Your CPU must take place.

However, if you find your PC is low, changing codec of the media or enable/disable hardware acceleration might help. If you still do not accept the speed, just buy a new PC.

Please remove the BAD review report by changing it to no rating.

Or just uninstall all my userscripts.
