Didn't they also block other services, like Google Maps, too? (IIRC there were webview wrapper apps that faked the user-agent.)

Who thinks of Plan 9 as a "joke OS"? It's obscure, sure, and has a jokey name, but is hardly a joke itself.

It's rolled out to Firefox beta (so yes, version 58) on Android now. (FWIW I've used beta for years and very rarely had any issues.)
