why battery drain fast when using web browser but slowly when steaming youtube video??

[Android Central Question]

i feel like the battery drains a percent every few 2-3 minutes with min brightness when using web browser to surf the internet just reading text but when i use a youtube app to watch videos, i can watch videos with full brightness and it only lose a percent every 5min or so. is there a reason for this? how can i fix this problem?

I experience the exact same problem on my Pixel using Chrome or Samsung Internet Browser, whether I'm on WiFi or mobile data.
