YouTube Became Slow Grainy & Choppy

General Help
1

Hi. I've been running Zorin 18.1 for about a week on my Living Room PC which we use only for YouTube, Rumble and video from our NAS onto TV.
Everything has been perfect since installation as a dual boot onto Ryzen 7 4750G.

This morning video playback on YouTube in full screen was flawless. This evening, p, payback is fine minimized but the minute I go full screen playback gets grainy and choppy. No settings have chaged

I've updated all software nothing fixes this new problem that's come out of nowhere.

Ideas? Suggestions?
Thanks

You could check the internet speed.

Thanks,
I should have mentioned speed is at 540 Mbps and booting into windows everything fine.

To add something to @Nourpon's Questions:

Did You tried it with disabled Hardware Acceleration in Your Browser/s?
Are Your Browser/s installed as Flatpak or .deb/APT Package?
Do You have installed all codecs?

Wayland or X11? I don't know.. Linux is still a new language for me.

I disabled hardware acceleration in Brave, no difference. Reenabled it. Still no diff
And like I said, all was fine in the AM turned it back on in the PM and it was awful in full screen. Rebooting changed nothing. Scratching my head....

For Wayland or X11 open Terminal and type

echo "$XDG_SESSION_TYPE"

you will see the result
