I’d also would like to add that in my case FreeTube has lower resource impact than YouTube in a browser. When I was watching YouTube videos in a browser, my CPU fan was running constantly which is not the case with FreeTube: the fan never starts when I use the app.

  Probably your browser isn't using the gpu correctly (example if it was an ubuntu snap)

    I tried both Firefox and Chrome/Edge under Windows 10 running on my MacBook Pro from 2019 — they have this issue. FreeTube doesn’t and I’m happy!
