Youtube/Netflix videos stuttering even with sufficient internet

[Baoty]

Hey, I have a relatively new laptop. Bought it 3-4 months ago, and have been very happy with it till now. But about a week ago videos started stuttering every 10 ish seconds, even with great internet connection, and i can clearly see that the video has loaded a lot further. The audio keeps going while the picture stutters by the way. My laptop is an Lenovo Y50, i5 edition with GTX 860M. Have a 500Gb Hybrid HDD with 8gb SSD cache. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Is your powerplan set to Highperformance?

What happens if you try it with another browser?

Alright so I fixed the issue. I downloaded firefox, and everything seemed to work good there. So that got me thinking. I remembered i downloaded a couple chrome extensions here the other day, so I removed those, and now my videos are fine again. Very weird! Scrolling is still a bit sluggish yes, but it was way worse. If you still want to know, I have 8Gb of RAM.
