Yep, Ukrainian :) I will try and add English subtitles and dub in next hour or two
Thank you so much @TotalNoob69 !

English subtitles are there!

English subtitles are there!

Thanks @tygvx ! I have some notes, not to correct your video, just to let you know of things you may not know.

Mobile Browsers
Firefox mobile is indeed recommended, but now Edge mobile also supports LiChess Tools, although it updates it really slowly. And then there is iOS, where even if you have Firefox or Edge or Chrome, they are completely different beasts because they are forced by the operating system to use their stupid Safari Webview. In that case, only Orion by Kagi can do you justice, but I've heard reports that the LiChess Tools CSS is not interpreted quite correctly in that one.

Interesting moves
Interesting moves (!?) is the first level of settings for moves. Brilliant moves (!!) are interesting moves that are also good and are enabled by the ...more moves setting in Extra Analysis Charting which also adds the good/blunders/mistakes/inaccuracies in other contexts where Lichess does not add them.

Puzzles
The puzzle dashboard has been enhanced with some interesting stuff by LiChess Tools, but most puzzle functionality is from Lichess

other stuff
Chess Pursuit is available originally in any 404 page (like https://lichess.org/page) but the one in LiChess Tools is refactored and with some small improvements. The Online bots page existed already, but you had to go to Community -> Players then left to see it. Most people didn't know it existed.

replacing Chess.com
You said chess.com has "paid lessons, video courses and exercises, drills, endgame trainers". Doesn't Lichess have them, too? And if you can tell me what you feel is missing, I can maybe implement all that.

@TotalNoob69 thanks for the answer! The first one will be relevant to lots of my students and I'll answer the new comments with this info, too. Btw, I totally missed the brilliant move feature- will add it and tell people on my streams. Yep, I told the things you mentioned in puzzles and other stuff, but maybe subtitles ate that info
On chess.com replacament-that thing is pretty interesting, I feel like chess com still has some exclusive features, like more intuitive UI, plug&play in endgames&drills, some exclusive lessons, cool interactive bots that are more visually pleasurable. For you&I and other nerds in this forum this sounds hilarious, because lichess can pretty much do all of that with some tinkering(and much more than just that, thanks to your work), but I still feel it is like an Iphone vs Android for many people, especially beginners-some are going to pay to not have to do anything in the settings and to have better visualisations, so that was essentially the point of my video- I recommend Lichess, I recommend this tool by this cool Romanian guy, but if you don't want to do anything/don't have a coach and have extra money - chess com could be ok for you
Also, I am open to making a pt2 once I fully grasp your extension in studies, if that is fine with you
