The point of the LOL extensions is to proxy to different regions/countries so you don't get the ads as you described. Works while the servers are up but they do occasionally drop, or for example when twitch had issues loading streams last week they fixed the US first but international took longer. Meant that streams still wouldn't load until you turned off the LOL and enabled something else to handle ads (I did twitch alternative player for the day). UBO by itself doesn't handle twitch stuff until you link it to script urls that do.

Ive tried TTV Lol several times, the best experience I ever got out of it was one time it blocked ads for about 20 minutes.
Its inexplicable really, some people have always been able to use these extensions to block ads, and others of us have to suffer through ads no matter what we do. I've even tried a pi-hole setup with all these damn things in every combination possible

Tried this... might be working? Except this is an even bigger resource hog than Chrome and twitch streams end up spending time buffering every minute or so... Which may as well be an ad.

I don't experience that buffering at all, so you might monkey around with the settings.
As for the resource hogging, I don't know of any browser these days that isn't a massive one so if they are all going to do it I might as well use a browser that isn't constantly trying to send my information to everyone at all times.

Very rarely watch Twitch but Vivaldi doesn't seem to be resource hogging. When switching Twitch channels, my CPU goes from 2% or less usage to ~15%, until loaded in, then back down to below 5% average. I also have 60 tabs open which are using 1,800 MB of memory.
With only using Ublock Origins and NoScript, I seem to be getting ads though, but that seems to be fixable by an extra script linked a couple pages ago (?).

Eh, she's only cute because of her makeup. I'd prefer like Valkyrae.

I don't think she looks bad without makeup. She looks different, but whatever. I'm too old. lol
