Hey,
Every time I start Safari and open YouTube my fans kick in and my Mac gets very hot.
This is not normal. It wasn't like that a month ago.
I have a MacBook Pro 15' mid2014 16GB, Version 11.7.1, Safari 16.1
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.7
A Mac is a high performance machine. The high temperatures and fan activity means it's working hard. Read About fans and fan noise in your Apple product - Apple Support.
Who is it working for though? You, or Google?
Google's YouTube product is particularly demanding of system resources. Google changes it all the time while it works to constantly harvest and upload your personal information.
Can I do something about the high temp and fans?
Safari: CPU% very high
