Description of the issue:
When using the Hide.me VPN on my PC with Windows 11 Pro, Twitch.tv streams in the Brave browser experience irregular buffering, lasting 3 seconds or longer. Additionally, when switching channels, the page sometimes becomes unresponsive, requiring a full page reload. In general, Twitch performs very slowly in Brave. This issue does not occur in other browsers like Chrome or Firefox.
How can this issue be reproduced?
- Connect to the Hide.me VPN using any server location.
- Open Brave and navigate to Twitch.tv.
- Play any stream and observe irregular buffering and overall slow performance.
- Switch channels and observe if the page becomes unresponsive.
Expected result:
Twitch.tv streams should play smoothly without buffering or delays. Channel switching should be responsive, and the website should perform as expected, similar to how it works in other browsers.
Brave Version (check About Brave

Additional Information:
- Operating system: Windows 11 Pro.
- VPN provider: Hide.me.

- Other browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox) do not exhibit these issues (with active VPN).
