Just updated to Monterey a few days ago and thought the most annoying thing would be having to watch videos on Safari--I was previously exclusively using Firefox for everything but watching video on that browser kept making the laptop fans go insane. Today I was trying to watch some YouTube videos on Safari and experienced the freeze phenomenon several times. I'd be fullscreen and the video would suddenly freeze while the audio kept playing. Couldn't escape the fullscreen and had no choice but to force a shutdown. I've never had this problem before installing Monterey, and since updating my OS I have made no other changes to my Macbook--no new apps or browser extensions or anything. The new OS is the only feasible culprit. I'm not using any external monitors, just a bluetooth keyboard and the wireless Apple trackpad. I've been searching around for a while now on tips to fix this and no one seems to have an answer so I'm hoping someone provides a solution here soon, or Apple pushes out a software update soon that fixes this mess. I don't think I've ever had to force shutdown this laptop before and I really do not want that to suddenly become an hourly thing.
