        For people like me who thought they have to hack into the Pentagon to spoof their Browser data: you can do that by using chameleon, an extension thats at least in the Firefox add on page

      For a while Apple artificially blocked signing in to your Apple ID with physical passkeys (like a Yubikey) on Firefox even though the browser supported it just fine.

      Their “iCloud for Windows” browser extensions didn’t support Firefox either last time I checked (needed for syncing bookmarks and the password manager).

      I get it. It’s still beta, and we’re only like 2% of the market. Makes sense not to worry about us yet.

        Not compatible with Firefox is the fastest way to know they don’t follow web standards. On brand.

          I dislike Apple more than most people, and they are indeed terrible with standards in general, but with web standards they’re doing the world a bit of a favour by pushing WebKit (based on KHTML) on all its users. WebKit is open source and used in for example GNOME Web.

          Had it not been for Apple nobody would give a shit about creating websites that work outside of Chrome.

      🤷‍♂️ It’s in beta, so I wouldn’t assume that support won’t get added.

      Kagi Maps has it as an option too. And it works on Firefox. 🤷

        I didn’t know Kagi had a maps functionality. It’s interesting, but I couldn’t find a way for it to tell me public transportation directions, the only reason I keep using Google Maps…

          Yeah I can only find driving directions. I’ve come across other apps over the years but only ones on Google Play Store. I don’t think I’ve seen any mobile apps that are open source and do my region.

    Trade one master for another. All these companies have the same playbook on a slightly shifted timeline.

      I remember when Apple Maps was a joke. These days it’s just simply better than google maps. Never thought I’d say that.

          I switched to iPhone about 18 months ago and refused to use Apple Maps at first. I tried Apple Maps when they added offline maps (I live in rural NM and that is a must). I hardly use Google maps any longer now.

          Getting a place updated in Apple Maps is proving to be a a little more difficult than it was in Google maps though.

    As others have said. Just use opensteeetmaps.

    They’re the best (even for hiking)

    Tee hee. Not supporting iPhone? Yes it has an app …. I just find that really funny.

    Safari and (chromium) browsers. Huh

    i’m confused… apple maps wasn’t available on the web? you’ve been able to send apple maps links forever, and they’ve had an embedding api where you could embed apple maps into web pages :/
