I am also in this camp and want to say that twitch especially is just horrible for performance

Which is so surprising to me because it's using the HTML5 video player and toggling around with hardware acceleration does nothing to fix the issue. Perhaps it's the integrated chat + any of the add ones that Twitch has written for the videos?
I have noticed the pop-out player seems far more efficient, which leads me to think the chat and other things going on around the video might be the culprit
