From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Maybe it's just me but a few months ago, it seems youtube got much heavier. My laptop fans ramp when using it almost every time
Probably all the new ad-blocking blocking, telemetry, and data harvesting.
I've noticed that ublock will sometimes be blocking 1,000+ scripts while on YouTube. That's gotta have an effect of all those are active.
Well 1000 script requests, since they're being blocked. It's not actually 1000 unique scripts.
I hope
