YouTube is not laggy for me. When I first visit YT, then it lags for maybe three seconds to load and from then on, it renders properly and plays any video I want. If I change to another video, the page renders in about 1 second of time and the video starts playing if it is one of my videos I have saved as a bookmark.

If any video is not saved as a bookmark, the page I go to where the video is located, it renders properly and when I click on the video, it starts playing when in click on the video's start button.

Since you didn't provide any information about your browser, you will have to give us some info on what you have done with Pale Moon. Such as:

1) What extensions you have installed
2) Do you have hardware acceleration disabled
3) Tried a new profile with nothing added to it (no extensions, no customizations, etc)

BTW. At this time, I am using 64 bit linux Pale Moon 31.3.0.1 running in 64 bit linux Mint 21 (Vanessa) Xfce and 64 bit MX Linux 21.2 (Wildflower) Xfce since I dual boot two linux distros.

The only extension I use for Pale Moon on two of my desktop tower computers is uBlockn Origin and on one of my laptops is Adblock Latitude. The lightweight theme I'm using, at the moment, is Moonscape.
Linux Mint 21.3 (Virginia) Xfce w/ Linux Pale Moon, Linux Waterfox, Linux SeaLion, Linux Firefox

Linux Debian 12.5 (Bookworm) Xfce w/ Linux Pale Moon, Linux Waterfox, Linux SeaLion, Linux Firefox
