Which is your preferred site for following the Candidates?
Just out of curiosity. If you expect to use more than one, please select that one you expect to use most, unless you can't decide what that is. (My answer, for what it's worth, is "no particular favourite" because I imagine I'll use Chess24 and Chessbomb pretty much equally.)
"Do you play chess?"
"Yes, but I prefer a game with a better chance of cheating."

I have done zero research but was hoping for chessbase commentary, hopefully even from Svidler; but no commentary at all thus far.

Voted other.
The little I'll be able to watch live will be from the chessgames.com site.
I'm not a fan of live commentary. I saw Short and Kasparov team up once. It was brilliant. I'd watch them.

I don't like criticising presenters, and I am sure he does not do it intentionally, but I find one commentator's habit of prefacing many of his contributions with an excited "Wow!" (rarely warranted by the move made or the analysis) irritating to the extent where I have to mute the sound.

I like the followchess site and mobile app:
https://live.followchess.com/#!fide-candidates-2020
Very tidy games display and pointers to the live video commentaries.
The chess24 live video is the most interesting, with a lot of top commentators; I'd rather watch that straight from youtube rather than using the chess24 website, looks a little bit messy/busy for my taste.
