YouTube Subscriptions freezes and stutters crazily the farther down you go
Describe the bug: Scrolling down on Youtube Subscriptions has a huge performance hit, making it stutter. When you get to the stage where it loads new videos, the window starts to hang and you can't do anything until it finished loading. The further down you go, the worse it gets. I tried to go down several months to catch up on new music, but this seemed to be impossible with HoverZoom enabled.
To Reproduce: Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to 'https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions'
- Scroll down until new videos get loaded
Expected behavior: No freezes and faster loading, which happens with HoverZoom disabled.
Desktop:
- OS: Arch with Zen-Kernel; 64-bit
- Browser: Brave from AUR
- Version: 1.70.119 (Chromium: 129.0.6668.70
Additional context: Imagus, from which I try to get away, doesn't have this problem. This issue might also be related to https://github.com/extesy/hoverzoom/issues/1370
Does disabling youtube.com in the HZ+ settings under the sites tab fix the stuttering?

Sorry for the late reply. I tested with it enabled and disabled (via options) now and: The performance degradation isn't as big as it was back then, actually it's quite acceptable now. If I were to put it on a scale and with 10 as the decrease back then, 1 as the performance of it disabled, I would say it is at 3 now.
The only differences to before:
- I use the default arch kernel right now
- Wayland instead of X11 (I will rule this out in a few weeks when I move back to X11)
- obviously, newer drivers and packages, like the browser, nvidia drivers, amd-ucode, kernel and so on
I will try to test further when I have more time available, but since this is pretty subjective, hardware, as well as OS and browser dependent, it is really hard to get good results.
