   Try a Chromium variant web browser (e.g. Edge, Brave, Vivaldi).  I gave   
   up on Firefox: too slow to run many scripts (so slow that, at time, I   
   think Firefox or the site is dead), unreliable rendering (too many sites   
   I hit couldn't display properly in Firefox), so I finally quit using   
   Firefox after many years of using it.  Mozilla forced me to switch.   
      
   Are you always watching videos in a web browser?  Or downloading them to   
   watch locally, like capturing them (e.g., yt-dlp) using VLC to view   
   them?  Highly scripted web sites can generate more heat with more CPU   
   cycles than watching the videos locally.  Because many sites have   
   dynamic web pages (scripted, and keep changing), the web browser can   
   consume more power while you do nothing but site at a web page, because   
   of all the scripting.  Ad/content blockers can help eliminate some of   
   the bandwidth and superfluous scripts.
