The Q&A Megathread for new and beginner chess players

Chess.com

For chess puzzles, have you tried chess.braimax.com ? Personally I wasn't fully satisfied by any of the existing apps/websites (I also tried chesstempo, even if I have to admit it was a couple years ago), and I found that what really worked for me was combining puzzle rush (without time limits) on chess.com with spaced repetitions. I created the aforementioned website to make this combination easy to use for anybody (and also to implement some other ideas I have, which I'm still working on).

Stockfish

So if you want to play against Stockfish, play against it. And in fact I would recommend not playing it on chess.com or Lichess with their artificial crippling levels. Download Stockfish, put it on a GUI and play it full strength and have fun getting utterly demolished.
