switched to firefox a few months ago but i keep going back to chrome everytime i need to watch a video online. Firefox videoplayer just doesn't work. The video lags very frequently and the cpu is always overheating.
Only when that matter is fixed will i be able to completely ditch chrome.
- catpolice 8y agoSame. I actually use FF for most browsing and I haven't really noticed a huge problem with the occasional youtube video. But I watch a lot of twitch streams on the box hooked up to my TV at home and Chrome seems to be the only option for getting 60fps at the moment.
- imagetic 8y agoYeah, I do video production work and Firefox is useless when it comes to video. If it even can play half the things, it's going to suck up a lot of computer power to do it.
- SuperNinKenDo 8y agoI haven't had this experience, but internet bandwidth tends to be a serious bottleneck here, so I rarely feel game enough to exceed 720p.
- jacoblambda 8y agoHmm that's odd, I have the exact opposite issue. For me and a number of people I interact with, the chrome video player will abruptly freeze the video while the audio continues to play. It only really seems pronounced on laptops with a second monitor attached though. Seems the same issues plague both browsers and one will just arbitrarily work better for some people.
