Trouble recording Browser Games

Alright so idk if this is the best place to ask, but I basically am able to record normal games pretty easily, but the moment I try to record my browser it runs at like 5 fps. Is this a common issue and if so how could I fix it. I currently use FireFox and I would prefer to use it, but if I have to use Chrome I'd be fine with it. Also I know it's not my internet cause 1. My Internet is pretty good, and 2. This happens with local recordings aswell.

Also I've used Microsoft Game DVR and it records perfectly fine but I want to overlay LiveSplit and have like NohBoard too

What program are you using for recording? I use OBS to record web games all the time and never had any performance issue.

You can try moving the game to it's very own window and tab, and minimise the rest of the windows, or close them (browsers handle memory in priority for unminimised windows). However, since you say that recording normal games works fine for you, I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work for browsers.

I'm using just Normal 64-Bit OBS Studio, and its already in it's own window. So idk why it's happening I'll test out Chrome and if that doesn't work I'll prob just deal with Microsoft Game Bar or whatever its called

My OBS set itself to 1080p for some reason so that was the problem

Did you look at your resolution, framerate, and bitrate settings?
