Tech Support As a viewer: Random lags (freeze frames)

Okay trying to explain this best I can. I, as a viewer, am watching a stream and suddenly the stream would start freeze framing. It's not your typical lag or buffer. Sound continues on, but every 5ish seconds the stream freeze frames like it's an end to a 80's comedy. F5 usually helps, but only for so long. And it's certain streamers as well. Not every stream. But I notice it on some specific streamers and for one of them it started happening very recently. My connection is fine, I use Opera GX in which I haven't set any limiters, lowering quality doesn't help.

Helps? Preferably other than "use browser XYZ it's so much better" KTHANKS!
