LiChess Tools - a review of 2025

hitting 10,000 users has to feel very rewarding! I have a small idea of how hard you have worked on it so I think it is well-deserved! Great work, and I hope you have a fantastic new year :)

After reading this,I have decided to try to install it. You've made lots of effort. Great job,I cant type rn because I need to install,that rating estimate sounds cool,too bad Lichess didn't originally have it.

EDIT: How do I use it,and also,is there a way to close it? (just in case

Thank you! Let me know if you have any issues.

Well, there is a nice big user manual or you can just ask people in the team forum or me personally.

If you want to close it, there is not one, but three different ways of doing it

  1. on the LiChess Tools menu item there is a toggle which can turn the extension off for the day (next day it's back)
  2. in the LiChess Tools preferences you have a toggle which can turn the extension off (and you have to turn it back on yourself)
  3. in case there is an issue with the "soft" turning off from any of these two switches, you can manage your extensions and disable the extension (but that shouldn't happen)

The short answer is no. The long answer is that there is a browser called Orion, by Kagi, which works on iOS (iPad and iPhones) and also accepts extensions. Unfortunately, I don't use Apple stuff, so there are issues that are specific to that browser which I will not fix very soon. But people do use it like that.

The reason web stuff on iOS works so differently is because Apple forces browser applications to use their system renderer. So Chrome and Firefox on iOS are NOT the same as the versions on Android or Windows.

P.S. if you decide to try Orion on iOS, you can update the issues you encounter here: https://github.com/Siderite/lichessTools/issues/1444
