I too have had poorer video performance too since 7.1 Not _certain
of the cause but since 7.1 one of my pair of 2-core cpu is always
offline. I suspect this may be to do with the deliberate removal of
hyper-threading support. (Yet this happened in 2018! It was done to
eliminate possible data leaks.

) There is a consequent drop in performance.
I use youtube-dl to download anything I want to see. (Performance is
far better from a local file.) It works on many sites such as the
Rumble 'embed' links and Odysee. headwind.tv was more problematic but
that played well directly over the internet.
Best
