It’s still a beta, they will likely add support before release.

Adding support? It’s a web site. If it works on one OS, it should work on the others automatically with few exceptions. Otherwise, it’s probably a bug in Firefox.

Isn’t iOS Firefox just a Safari reskin? Why wouldn’t it work there

Because it doesn’t even work in safari, also on iOS 18 DB5 it just opens the app version.

Use OSM

OSM isn’t a website or a web app. It’s a repository of map data. Problem is, there is no good browser web app that uses OSM data.

And unfortunately OSM can be incomplete in many small cities and rural areas :(

I recommend StreetComplete to anyone that wants to help complete OSM in their local areas.

OSM actually does have a website where you can freely browse the map, I’m not really sure what you are saying here. The main purpose of OSM is to provide data for other maps but openstreetmap.org is a fully functional map website

Openstreetmap.org is a blurry mess. Navigation is shit. Functionality is pretty bare-bones.

And on mobile, use Organic Maps. It downloads Open Street Map data so it works completely offline, no internet is required once you download whatever regions you need. There are monthly updates for the map data and the app is open source and ad-free.

Plus the routing algorithm is transparent and doesn’t route you because of environmental reasons or third party advertisers

Funny enough, Apple Maps uses some OSM data

Doesn’t work on Firefox for Android

Not sure why I’m bothering to check when there’s other superior options that already work though.

Doesn’t work on chrome for android as far as I can tell, or not this beta site at least. System webview issue likely.
