CastBuddy – Chrome Web Store:
This extension finds videos on the web sites you are browsing and allows you to play them on your Chromecast device.
Works nice if you need it, but uses a lot of CPU (on my Retina MacBook with latest chrome: about 75% of one CPU core) so it drains battery fast.
You can view this high CPU usage in the Chrome Task Manager (which used to be available through chrome://tasks, but this is one of the use full Find Hidden Features On Chrome’s Internal Chrome:// Pages features they removed). Fire up the Chrome Task Manager through the Window menu.
Verdict
Enable only when you need it. Disable after use in chrome://extensions
