    It's Lichess, but prettier

  • Then there is the UI (User Interface) and UX (User Experience) which is what OP was talking about. Well, as someone suggested, you can actually FULLY customise lichess' UI , the same way https://prettierlichess.github.io/ does. So, if you don't like lichess UI, you can change it ! And why is that ? because lichess is open source. And why is open source better than closed source ? as wikipedia's article summarises it link here so you can educate yourself) :

    ♞ lichess.org: the forever free, adless and open source chess server ♞

  • you'll see that chess.com loads in 1 second ! which is quite a bit. On the other hand, lichess loads in 330ms, 3 times less. What does that mean ? well, it's true that chess.com webpage is two times heavier than lichess.org, and you can clearly see it, as it has plenty of menus (one on the left, one on the right, and one the page itself!) and it even has a little window to see some chess.com twitch live. (if you ask me, useless stuff, but it's true that it's subjective).
