    Maybe it’s just me but a few months ago, it seems youtube got much heavier. My laptop fans ramp when using it almost every time

      Probably all the new ad-blocking blocking, telemetry, and data harvesting.

      I’ve noticed that ublock will sometimes be blocking 1,000+ scripts while on YouTube. That’s gotta have an effect of all those are active.

        Well 1000 script requests, since they’re being blocked. It’s not actually 1000 unique scripts.

        I hope
