I think chess.com is only more popular because its name is easier to remember.
Also though why does that bus look so weird? Our buses don't look like this...
Chess.com or Lichess?

Chess.com ratings aren't serious either.
And with lichess you get better interface, gameplay, premove system, puzzles, no payments, tournaments, events, studies, analysis, less cheating, less advertising, better players and less lag.
No weird rules that don't make sense like rating not increasing if playing someone low rated, or the game being a draw when your opponent flags and its still possible to win.
I could write a 10,000 word essay on why lichess is better...
But chess.com has only chess in its name therefor it has an advantage
Lichess should change its name to chess.org

There already exist this domain. Check it out with antitrackers.
I feel like players on chess.com understand positional chess a bit better than lichess...lichess is all tactical tricks and attacking.

Use both. Pay money to both. Diamond here; patron there. Each has benefits. Prefer to play on chessdotcom and spend more time here in clubs and forums. Lichess studies and Explorer pull me there often, and I’ll play a few games every few days.
I don’t think you guys realise, chess is chess. Play on whatever site you want. I personally play chess.com because it’s the site I started on and for new players it is more accessible. But I have played Lichess and I think it’s more affordable than chess.com but I find chess.com to be less laggy and more smooth. If you have got the money, I’d recommend chess.com. But if you would rather save, or you want more elo? Lichess.org is for you.
I'd prefer chess.com since I like the UI better. Though lichess is free and that's its biggest attraction. But I'm just a chess player, so either sites are fine for me.

How much are chess.com paying you to say this? No way can a Brit say chess.com is less laggy lmao.
i prefer chess.com, it's easier with the icons to understand what you did wrong

Both. Chess.com when playing games, lichess when analysing, studying, learning, etc

This is smart. You can just copy and paste the fen of the chess.com game and analyse it for free in a lichess study.

I honestly hate lichess study because of it docking openings as wrong lol
Like ik they are wrong it doesn't have to tell me
Well the major differences between them is that lichess is free while chess.com paid
