I noticed some peaks of usage on both internal and dedicated GPU while watching videos on YouTube. This happens only when watching videos not on Full Screen mode. I tested also with chromium but there's not this issue. What is causing it? How can i stop this behavior?

Hi Arman, thanks for the reply. I've only tried point 8 and that's really what's causing the gpu usage. As I understand it, hardware acceleration is like a trade-off between CPU or GPU usage. So disabling hardware acceleration (Settings->General->Performance) fixed the problem.
