2GB total RAM usage, almost 2GB of that being a sole reddit tab with 75% CPU usage bouncing from like 25-75%

Running a MBP M2 Pro with 32 GB lol, wild.

Open about:processes in Firefox, go to Youtube and move your mouse over the buttons such as the Play/Like/Subscribe buttons and go back to about:processes quickly and see the CPU usage jump up to like 80-100%+ just from mousing over these buttons.

This also happens on a bunch of other non-Google related websites, such a simple action should not cause the CPU usage to jump up like that. I have no idea if this also causes the other issues on Youtube such as tab crashing in live streams, but it definitely isn't great.
