A few weeks ago it was fine. Below 50% usage on my i5 4670. I got a new 4K TV and i even watched a lot of 4K demos on Youtube with no issues.

Since a couple of days the usage has climbed up to around 65-70% with even higher spikes. Even for the same videos i watched before. I now can't even watch a single 4K video without stutters every now and then.

My PC is clean, there are no new background apps eating CPU, i still have the same amount of processes (i check regularly) and i'm getting 0% CPU usage when idle.

~5% for me with this video (and no 8k option...)

3600. How are your benchmark scores?

It seems to be Google rolling out there pro-Chrome things, if you're browser is detected to be anything else there's now a sudden bloat and delay, I'm sure other browsers will update to get around this at some point.

Shit, i'm using firefox. Is this true? It crossed my mind. I need to test this...

Still 50%+ using Firefox.

Everything else runs fine, there are no issues with CPU throttling or anything. Temps are fine also.

It's true. I'm only getting, like, 8% to 12% CPU usage if i use Chrome.

Google, WTF?

I'm getting around 13% with a trx3990 and brave browser.

Then maybe it's a firefox issue?

Most likely, I stopped using it years ago.

Made sure hardware acceleration is on?

Made sure hardware acceleration is on?

It's enabled.

In Firefox it's usually awful for me at 4K. I'm sure Chrome works fine because Google sucks like that.
