Many browsers implement power saving on tabs that aren't in the foreground - you could be falling foul of that.

(the power saving will be to limit cpu/network activity for that tab, which will likely cause stuttering or video pausing)

Could be the encoding used, or more likely the amount of tracking and/or ads causing the CPU to use more power

It could simply be that they're having to sell every last spare byte to advertisers to stay afloat.

That's not to dispell any tinfoil moments, but the methodology might be more subversive than we can give it credit for.

GB news might actually be a mechanism to misdirect the centre left as much as the right.

They really do have some crap adverts.

I think the loons at 'hope not hate' have it in for them.

It says something when a stall in Swansea Market advertises. But then, it's still better than funeral plans and incontinence pads !  ::)
