chrome gpu:

And when I watch video, my cpu goes 80% load, and intel_gpu_top shows video 0 utilization. What should I do ?

Re: chromium video acceleration does not work (xorg)

not exactly a solution to your problem but I noticed high cpu use in Chrome whilst watching youtube and twitch. So I decided explore other options and I now watch all my streams and youtube content using a combination of yt-dlp, streamlink and mpv.

Its actually so much better too. The quality is better and you avoid ads etc and the cpu usage is like 3 times less or more.
