Not being able to run Twitch on it has me switch for brief periods.

You're personally unable to look at twitch on it?

The adblock causes a twitch stream error. I can watch until the first ad. This is annoying, so I switch to vanilla chrome.

You can turn off the adblock per site.

Do you even try to use software you are using? Click shield icon and turn off...

Heh, funny, Twitch was the primary reason I installed Brave because it was being glitchy on Firefox (at the time years ago - no longer the case). I've never had trouble with Twitch on Brave.

From my experience (as a Brave user), using a User-Agent switching extension and setting it to Firefox for twitch.tv gets around that :)
