I believe google has intentionally made google maps near unusable in firefox. It's been consistently working worse and worse every year. I feel like about 8 years ago there used to be parity between them.
- timeon 3y agoI rarely use google maps so haven't noticed. Only thing I really miss from OSM based services is street-view.
- MSFT_Edging 3y agoIts really bad, it takes almost a minute for the site to "stabilize", and even then, default text in the search bar is overlaid with whatever you're typing, a good 30 seconds to load a destination. A chrome browser on the same device has maps behave almost instantaneously.
- timeon 3y agoThat really sounds like intentional.
- prmoustache 3y agoI am using it regularly without issues on firefox so I am not sure what you are talking about and definitely not in the "unusable realm". Can you be more specific?
- bee_rider 3y agoI think this example is weirdly informative to me. I mostly use maps via an app (Apple or Google, they seem to be the same for basic use). Usually if I’m using a map, I’ll be using it in my car for navigation, so Firefox doesn’t even come to mind. I suspect, on top of the “maybe it is internal apps” thing I mentioned at first, some of the really bad sites are the really interactive ones, I probably just use the app without even thinking of it.
- MSFT_Edging 3y agoI like to explore maps a lot, and its simply better on a full desktop screen compared to a phone. So its a regular drag for me. If I really need to move quick to find something, I'll begrudgingly open chrome.
