Well, that's only one of the apparent problems with Hola.

Another one is the following
"They send traffic of strangers through your internet connection
Hola is a "peer-to-peer" VPN. This may sound nice, but what it actually means is that other people browse the web through your internet connection. To a website, it seems like it's you browsing the site.

Perhaps that doesn't seem bad to you. However, imagine that somebody uploaded child pornography through your connection, for example. To everybody else, it seems as if it was your computer that did it, and you can't really prove otherwise."

You can read more here
Adios, Hola! - Why you should immediately uninstall Hola

After reading all that, I'm not interested in Hola. I have used Zenmate and DotVPN in the past, and they both worked fine for what I wanted.

No need for it. Apps don't run in the background:

I think give a try to desktop zenmate.

You can set it not to run with Windows startup & fire it manually only when you need to use it. This way background service only when running it.
 
Activated: Heimdal Pro Traffic Filtering (Secure DNS)
 
UPDATE:
Removed: Heimdal Pro.

I understand why you would choose Vivaldi but is removing Chrome necessary? I thought Vivaldi had to still catch up to chrome and firefox's performance and usability.

IMO Vivaldi is not behind, it is very secure and has the App-Container and Plugin Sandbox Policy Tweak. Also it uses Google Malware and Phishing Blocker.
