Terrible web program • page 1/1 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

Since I no longer have the mobile app, it's been discouraging. I can only use Firefox because it systematically crashes with other browsers. But even with Firefox, I lose tons of games, either because in the last 15-20 seconds the program crashes in the browser: the pieces stop halfway with a ghost effect (double image of the piece), you can't drag them, or it plays the trick you see in the video below: it freezes everything, but you hear the sound of phantom moves (which you ignore, you don't see them!), the clock continues to tick, and you lose! I understand it's free, but the only thing I can say is: HORRIBLE chess platform! (this negative critique obviosly relative only to the gaming experience)

You have played over 77,000 games here, totalling over 224 days of your life.

If it is really terrible, you don't seem to value your life very much...

If you cannot get it to run on your device, and all browsers fail... did you ever consider the problem is with your device (or connection)? As others do not have those problems and use dozens of different browsers and devices without any problem, please consider a problem on your end.

Please keep in mind that it is an impossible task for even an enterprise company worth a trillion dollars to develop and maintain software that works on every major version of every browser.

lichess.org is providing an excellent service for free. I understand you probably wrote this message when you were tilting, but consider editing it to show some gratitude and humility toward the people who let you play 224 days of your life in chess for free.

I don't understand all the technology and jargon. I simply use Lichess.org the website not any app of Lichess and on the whole it's relatively bug free ,smooth and simple , works for all my needs , just play from the website is my advice xxx edit but over several years of being in forums, Firefox has the most complaints/problems xxx
