    Safari CPU usage

    This isn't a complaint, but rather me scratching my head at Chrome and Firefox. I noticed that while watching videos Youtube (which I spend way too much time doing), the fans on my 2012 era Macbook Pro would ramp up like a jet engine. Thinking about it for a moment, I decided to check the CPU...
