idk anything about chrome, have you tried looking into the settings and search for some option where you can clear cookies/cache and see if that helps? maybe you have an extension that conflicts with youtube somehow lol?

yeah I used ccleaner and the only extensions I use on chrome are adblock and popup blocker

Windows 8? What's your GPU?

The thing is, Windows 8 era comp most likely lack a native support for the new AV1 or even the old VP9 codec. Unfortunately Youtube might decide to use those for high resolution video (say, higher than 1080p) and ditch the ancient, potato-compatible AVC codec alltogether. Without native support, decoding will tax your CPU and RAM.

To check the codec used by particular video, click gear icon then "Stats for nerds".

You can try to force Youtube to give you the old AVC video and see if it resolves your issue. Just set the video resolution to 1080p or lower.

Im not sure of my gpu but since it might actually be that, I probably should start looking for a new computer lol
