Did some experementation to find lightest way to stream YT videos for the sake of battery life on my laptop. I use invidious instances whenever possible so also worked that into it. Tested native website streaming through firefox, an electron app called FreeTube which i like using, and SMTube+SMPlayer. The SMTube+Player combo was the winner by a long shot. After trying out several invidious instances i finally found one that was compatable to be set as the default site to use. all that was left was creating an account on that particular instance and uploading my exported subscriptions feed file. Awesome!
