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?

      Yes, setting these 2 to True fixed the problem. I am curious if there was a security reason for this, or if it was just oversight.

          Now I went and checked Firefox and those same 2 settings are also set to False by default, BUT Firefox does not have the same cpu overuse problem when playing video that librewolf had before I changed these 2 settings. I am trying to figure out what’s going on so I can make a helpful recommendation.
