I thought yahoo finance had a great options chain …all the contract price changes are listed in percent (as well as dollar amount) but there seems to be a huge delay in the morning so i am guessing the data is delayed by at least 15minutes…. right?
Other websites offer option chain lists but their data is delayed by 15 minutes and some dont list contract price changes in percentage but rather just give it dollar amount…and some websites require you to pay to access
Some websites require you to register which is something i dont mind doing unless they ask for my social security number (SIN) and phone number … cause you know its all going to get leaked / hacked one day 🙁
so are there any websites that will just give the options chain data, with percent change, without delay and free of charge?
Which website lists option chain that is not delayed 15 minutes and has price change in percentage.

Any broker Schwab, IBKR, Etrade, RH, etc.
You need to pay the exchange for realtime data. That’s why not even a Bloomberg terminal offers you real time data unless you pay extra on top of the terminal license.
Many retail brokers should offer that as part of their service if you are using their tools. However, you will not find a website that will display this kind of data available to everyone for free.

Also, do you even know what the % change column refers to? Generally, I wouldn’t trust yahoo and websites like that. They are full of errors. See for example:

There is no free live data for options chain
I think you could do this through polygon or tradier apis
