Should I purchase a streaming device and which one?

I know this isn't the most unique question to ask here but I'm completely stumped. I looked and nobody was asking the questions that are important to me but it may be because I'm from Europe wirh much more limited streaming sites.

I bought an LG TV recently, I love it but it has very limited options, you have your basic stuff, Netflix, HBO, Prime and Disney and that's about it. The app store is ridiculous, there is nothing in there. I download Stremio but that was just as bad when I looked for things I wanted to watch. I can get the Tubi app but it is out of my region so it is also useless.

I mostly used my pc for streaming before getting a smart TV, which might be why my expectations are so big. I can't cast with chromecast from my pc because it has ethernet the tv only has wifi access. Also if I try to cast from my phone and it is not from an app already on the tv it won't work. I tried to watch an anime from a site and it wouldn't not load on the tv with cast.

I wanted to be able to have a VPN on while I browse my apps and also to use Chrome instead of the LG WebOS. I'm more familiar with the Chrome setup. I want more variety, and I want to be able to access my *other🌊⛵* sites, mostly for anime as Crunchyroll sucks major ass.

Are these things possible with a streaming stick or a box? If yes which one would you recommend? If not what options do I have?

Need some help with lg apps/streaming

Hey everybody, I need some help with my new LG TV. For context I live in Europe so my options are limited in streaming apps. I have all the usual suspects : Netflix, Disney+, HBO, Prime but I want to watch stuff that's not on these streaming sites but is on Tubi which I access with a VPN on my pc but it is not possible on the TV. I can download the Tubi app but it isn't available in my region. Also I have Crunchyroll but it is the absolute worst anime streaming site so I like to take to the seas when it comes to animes. The lg web is also quite bad, I'm used to Google Chrome.

Question is:

What apps do you recommend within Lg WebOs that I don't already have?

Is a Google Chromecast device worth it? Or a google streaming box/stick? Can I download and use a VPN on a Google TV device that I can connect to my LG TV?

What options do I have?

Thanks for all the answers in advance.
