Hey,
I was using Chrome for the last 2 months when I bought this Macbook Pro 2023 16".
Now since today my Youtube videos are lagging, they look like they are playing in 20 fps. When I try the video with Safari I have no issues.
Why did this happen suddenly? I was very happy with Chrome. I tried to delete and re install Chrome but that didnt work.
Please help or advise somebody.
By far the easiest way to cause poor performance, instability, overheating and crashing is to install ANY third-party speeder-uppers, Cleaners, Optimizers, or Virus scanners. or a VPN that you installed yourself. The main reason is that they are relentless in scanning your files, non-stop, looking for things virus-like patterns in Everything. When completed, they do it all again.
The idea that a third party, with no special knowledge of the inner workings of MacOS, can somehow find a simple way to protect your computer — that is not already being done by MacOS itself — suggests that the MacOS developers are somehow "holding out on you". That is absurd.
You should remove any and all (other than Apple built-in) virus scanners, speeder uppers, optimizers, cleaners, App deleters or VPN packages you installed yourself, or anything of that ilk.
Third-party file Sync-ers such as DropBox, BackBlaze, OneDrive, or GoogleDrive can ruin performance, but are not inherently dangerous.

<< Chrome on my Mac. It was working fine and suddenly the video fps dropped to like 10-15 but with Safari it works fine... >>
You appear to have done a great job of fault isolation. Based on your report, the problem is inside Chrome.
In Chrome settings, do you have Hardware acceleration enabled?
Is there anyone that can help?
I really would like to continue to use Chrome and I have no clue why my youtube video framerates dropped to like 15 fps suddenly. As I have already said, I didnt install anything besides Chrome on my Mac. It was working fine and suddenly the video fps dropped to like 10-15 but with Safari it works fine...
I don’t have anything installed besides Google Chrome. It was just working fine and now it doesn’t. It is very annoying.
