Lichess is great. TTT is more of a venue for following pro games, kind of an ESPN for chess. It's also supposed to be good, but its purpose is different. Using Lichess as a gameplay backend lets them host online games without the effort of the somewhat evil chess dot com, or the unsuccessful Chess24. Seems like a win for TTT. I'm not so keen on Lichess doing something that commercial but we'll see.
You can use Lichess online at lichess.org. It's completely free, no ads, and no mobile app is needed. It's the best fancy web UI I've ever seen by far.
