I have also noticed this since the latest update (Version 0.99.121-beta), I have attached a screen recording, comparing Safari to Orion when watching the same YouTube video, in the same quality.

That being said, the increase in CPU usage since the most recent update has not only been while watching YouTube videos, I have noticed an increase in battery usage overall, which I assume to be the fault of increased CPU usage whilst browsing generally.

Like I said, I have only noticed this since the latest update and everything prior to that update has been perfect, Orion has been the most battery efficient browser I have ever used.

I'm running MacOS 12.4 on a MacBook Air (M1, 2020), if there is any other information/logs I can provide please let me know.

Steps to reproduce:
<Include steps to reproduce the bug; Did you try using Compatibility mode? If applicable, does Safari behave in the same way?>

Whenever I play a youtube video on Orion the battery usage is ridculously high. I have 3 extensions installed and even once they are uninstalled the same results occur. Safari does not experience this level of battery usage.

Orion, OS version; hardware type:
Version 0.99.121-beta (WebKit 614.1.20)
MacBook Air (macOS Ventura 13.0 build 22A380)

ebern17 I am unable to reproduce it. Can you try resetting Orion and trying with a clean install? File -> Reset Orion.

It got worse I have no idea why. I thought Firefox was a battery hog too.

ebern17 Orion is not a battery hog or you would see all users complaining about it Something specific is happening on your system we just need too figure out why and what are the steps to reproduce it.

I got Orion specifically because it is not a battery hog lol which is why I'm so confused why this is happening. I think what is happening is when I import my info from safari the battery usage skyrockets. I don't know why this would be causing an issue.

Steps to reproduce:
Open acrivity monitor & see Orion Web Content (Prewarmed) consumption.

]Orion is unusually consuming alot of CPU resoruces & heating up laptop even when watching a youtube video.

I have the exact same problem. My computer got ridiculously hot from one youtube tab.

Verfied just being on a youtube video page (video doesn't have to be playing) spikes the CPU. Each tab on a youtube video page increases the CPU usage even more.

Same problem on my M1 Mac mini it is hammering the cpu and heating up more than normal.

The same behaviour occurs for me either on 120.1 or 121 on Ventura 13.0 with 2021 MBP M1 Pro when playing a youtube video or simply having a tab open.

However, it seems to me that being signed in to my youtube account (and/or a non-private window) actually brings out the issue. See the screenshots.

Safari 16.1 and Orion 121 side by side. Both private windows, not signed in.

Safari 16.1 and Orion 121 side by side. Both private windows, both signed in.

Safari 16.1 and Orion 120 side by side. Safari private windows, Orion not, both signed in.

A non-private window seems to exerbate the issue. No clue why the Viewport is different. I tried to make the windows the exact same size.

I have no extensions beside Dark Reader installed and that was deactivated via the compatibility Mode (and/or in the menu), I could not see a significant difference either way. Sorry for all the screenshots, I actually had more, for all the permuations but I hope that is enough .

Thanks for the (otherwise) awesome browser, I am enjoying the hell out of it!

It seems that it has nothing to do with the latest release (121). What is strange is that so many people found the problem now and not with the previous release.

Our plan is to update to a newer version of WebKit and test with this.
