It's constantly sending requests from BE to FE - checking IP, checking watch time etc.

That’s entirely unrelated to the backend language (and mostly unrelated to CPU usage for that matter).

do you know javascript? it can eat CPU

[robertlagrant]

That is nothing to do with Java.

That shouldn't take that much CPU tbh, but if it does, it sounds like they have some optimization to do.

I wonder if it's like DRM in video games, causing a lot of overhead.

[HeckFeck]

Makes sense. The most gifted coders wouldn't work in DRM and telemetry. At least I hope that's what is happening.

[oldnet]

Maybe.

I watch streams on youtube, twitch etc and everything is fine.

However whole CPU is flying to the moon if I will watch something on netflix.

Btw Chrome was pure a nightmare for CPU but Brave is better.
