Apple Maps on Web Now Works on Linux (But Only in Firefox)


Desktop screen showing Firefox browser open, and displaying Apple Maps inside.
The screenshot above shows Mozilla Firefox 132 (running on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS) with the web version of Apple Maps successfully loaded.

All features work as they should, including search, directions, hybrid images, location detection, guides, places of interest, plus core interactive features like scrolling/zooming, and so on.

In other browsers, this is not the case.

Thing is, Linux users being able to access a competent alternative (not the only alternative, of course) to Google Maps is a good thing, even if most people would prefer to use another service, like OpenStreetMap.

Oh boy, now #Firefox sends your (categorized) searches back to daddy Mozilla, without asking for consent (you read that right, it's opt-out).

As if turning Mozilla into a for-profit, AI-first company wasn't enough. Well, I guess if you increase the CEO's salary by 2 Million $ every year, you need additional sources of income.


Sometimes I need to watch a video on youtube.

Even if I quickly go fullscreen, there's enough time to be enticed by the algorithmically-addictive video on the side menu.

What browser magic can I most simply implement to hide the side menu?

I'm frustrated by #SEO pages that appear high in search results, but which are not very useful. They are optimised for #google, not for humans.

Is there no #firefox extension that demotes SEO pages in search results?


Bernie Sanders has a new book on crapitalism!

OK, OK, I'm using a new Firefox add-on called "Crapitalism" and it's hilarious! The word "Capitalism" on a webpage is always replaced with "Crapitalism". It's a little inside joke between me and my browser.

If you're looking for a fun way to critique the current economic system, download it on the Firefox add-ons page. Let's start a crapitalist revolution one webpage at a time!💩💰
