I can confirm that it works well with mpv(1) but not in ff. In my last
test I only tested WebGL and simple youtube stuff.

I have not noticed taht playing youtube run on my CPU. That's because up
to 1080p60 always runs smoothly. But 2160p60 is the end of the line
here.

What I cannot confirm, any disadvantages with enabling or disabling
VAAPI.

I don't see it, I'll test it with a new profile. Can you give me a test
example?

Can AMD users play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXb3EKWsInQ in
2160p60 on FF without blowing the CPU?

If so, it is only an Intel problem
