#12lichess.org > chess.com or any other paid chess platform
This one is actually baffling to me. The only dimension where chess.com is better is that it has better players at the very top end... which is not a concern for anybody except ultra-high level GMs.

#16organicmaps -> google maps Of course Google Maps has traffic prediction and restaurant ratings, there's no good open alternative yet. For standard foot, cycle, car navigation I fuond organicmaps enough. And it's open, free, offline, no tracking.
Nice! I've been using Maps.me but recently it got acquired and new owners had some problems with understanding why people use it
