Youtube (especially streams) always spike CPU load and causes a memory leak
Every single time I watch longer videos, but especially livestreams, it ends up clogging up to 8GB of ram and then starts buffering, and uses sometimes upwards of 60% CPU.
I've -tried updating graphics drivers, -opening safe mode and watching from there, -turning off all addons and restarting, -turning off hardware acceleration, -installing h264ify
I'm kind of out of ideas. I hate this, I just want to be able to watch youtube normally. Please help.

Oh, forgot to mention this, but I'm on an i5-6600K and gtx 1070. It always uses almost no GPU so I suspect the problem is with it not using hardware acceleration even though I have it turned on.
