Is it possible to get 0 dropped?

In a nutshell, "no".

I work within 1.5 miles of our fiber optic service provider and I get "dropped frames".

I play 80s music all day long from YouTube and yeah, sure, it's a 2hr 10min video, but I do have TWO dropped frames and I'm 1hr 58min into the 2hr 10min video.

Google doesn't bother with optimizing software-rendering fallbacks. Yes, the slowdown from the old Chromium to new Chromium playing videos without GPU acceleration is normal.

Expect no more from XP software forks other than it launches and kinda works (emphasis on "kinda").

Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

So this section, Viewport / Frames, is not an indicator of playback quality, but an indicator of Internet connection quality?

I tried this again:
v11 @ 720p, it showed 68 dropped
v13.5 @ 360p, it showed 1156 dropped; 17x times more dropped compared to v11, even on a lower 360p resolution hmm.

If I try to "fix" this in v12-v13.5, what would have better chance to work?
New Ethernet driver?
New Video driver?
New Audio driver?
Faster CPU?

V13.5 build 1030:

ZERO dropped frames.

And that was with me throttling my internet connection all the way down to 5 Mbps (edit - correction, I was throttling at 8 Mbps but the speed test was only showing a tad over 5 Mbps - point is, even that low, I had ZERO dropped frames) -

Perhaps we should have started here - are you running any anti-virus?  Or how about how many "processes" does your OS run?  How many other tabs are open?

Sure, congratulations!

NO antivirus here, and have 13 processes after boot of my PC with Windows XP SP2...

How did you throttling the connection down, please?

Open Developer Tools (F12)

Go to Network Tab

Click the "Online" dropdown that is on the second line

Click the "Add..." at the bottom of the dropdown list

Click "Add custom profile..."

Set a Profile Name and set the Download speed

Close the Network Throttling Profiles with the "x" in the upper right corner

Click the "Online" dropdown on the second line again

Select the profile you just added (will be in the "Custom" section)

Refresh the tab for the settings to take place

Was this wrong or not good? I just assumed the higher the numbers the better but I'm not sure anymore.

That's good download speed.  The higher, the better.

I connect here at home at around 180 Mbps if on LAN (which I never use!  I find wi-fi to be more "secure") but at 25 to 45 Mbps when on wi-fi (depending on how many devices are online).

Anything over 25 Mbps seems more than adequate for 4k hi-res streaming.

A dropped frame here or there doesn't mean too much, every dropped frame is not a crackle in audio or a lag in video, you have to drop DOZENS of frames "back to back" before you get a crackle or lag.

The number of dropped frames is NOT IMPORTANT.

The RATE at how fast you drop a frame IS important.
