I've been having some issues with YouTube where I'm noticing a lot of frame drops. I enabled 'Stats for nerds' and saw that nearly half of the frames are being dropped. Interestingly, when I switch to fullscreen mode, everything runs smoothly and there are no dropped frames at all. Just to give you some context, I'm using the Brave browser along with an NVIDIA RTX 2060 graphics card, an i7-6700K processor, and have 32 GB of RAM. Any recommendations to fix this while still using Brave?

Have you checked if you enabled 'Use Graphics Acceleration when available' in the Brave settings under System? That might help with frame drops if it's not already turned on.
When I tried enabling it, I ended up facing a different issue. In fullscreen, the video started playing in slow motion while the audio was fine, but every 10 seconds, it would buffer for a second or so. It was really frustrating!
