Stuttering when playing 4k videos in a browser on Windows

GPU:RX 7900XT

Driver:24.12.1

When I tried to play 4K videos on YouTube using Firefox and Edge, there was regular stuttering.

But when I turned it on full screen, there was no more stuttering.

For your info : 4K playback on youtube is very regulated and script infested, you actually need to pay for it unless you don't, then you will get free stutters forever. Try paying and you'll know...

There is an invisible war going on between youtube and freeloaders thus we always will face the consequences of their actions.

Today it's this problem and tomorrow we get new issues.

This is been going on for years now but nobody seem to notice.

They want money otherwise they make our internet miserable like microsoft has always done and now it's considered normal while in fact they are all criminal organizations. (microsoft, intel, amd,nvidia, apple etc...)

They control everyones hardware no matter how hard you try to get control they will undo in no time.

People should put no trust in any US based company since they don't give a **** about us.

This forum for example is made by AMD to let the community work for them without paying them a single penny.

I call that slavery !

The post above mentions YouTube Premium. I should clarify that I have tested this issue for long enough to have been in and out of Premium and it makes no difference, the stutters are all the same. No issues in Windows with a Vega 56, no issues at all under Linux on the very 6900 XT that I have trouble with. I don't use Edge, but Firefox does it both in the small player and fullscreen.

It really has  everything to do with total control of 4K videos in general and no it has nothing to do with youtube premium.
