Hi
When watching Youtube videos, the video stream stops for a split second every few seconds. In general, the video feels choppy.
I don't have this problem with Opera, Chromium, Iron, or Chrome browsers.
Any fix?
thx

Re: Choppy Youtube Videos
Click the gear icon (lower right in video) & lower the quality of the video from say 720 to 480, etc. You can also disable 'Use hardware acceleration when available' in Slimjet advanced settings & see if that helps any.
Re: Choppy Youtube Videos
Surely it shouldn't be necessary to reduce the YouTube resolution to get a smooth result? No other browser requires this? I also suffer from choppy Youtube videos, with bad stutters every few seconds. I've tried turning off hardware acceleration (but again, why should I have to do that?) and it helps a little.
This is really not great for a browser in 2023, and it's a shame because Slimjet is a great browser in many other ways.

Unfortunately, this issue is still present in recent 44.0.6.0 version of the browser.

If you disable hardware acceleration, it should get smooth again. Also have this issue with hardware acceleration enabled. Especially on AV1 videos with my GTX1080 + i7 6700K
