why exactly is our laptop using the 3d engine of our gpu to play youtube videos instead of using the video decode engine, and more importantly, why is it still doing this when the video is a) paused and b) in a background tab
@noiob oh. is there a more accurate system resources thing? Anyway i'm also wondering why it's using so much when it's in a background tab and paused because it shouldn't be *doing* anything, it doesn't even have to render a static frame
