Great to see another map with satellite images, besides Google Maps and Microsofts Bing Maps.
Now they just have to stop blocking Linux based on the user agent. If I set it to Firefox on Windows, it works, but not if set UA to Linux. A major feature of browsers is that web devs don’t have to care about the underlying OS…
I’ve been contributing a lot to OSM for my local area, and have added a couple dozen businesses, and updated a dozen more. It’s pretty easy, and I’ve really been liking OrganicMaps on mobile for directions and whatnot.
For others: if OSM kinda sucks in your area, you’re not SOL, you can add whatever it is you’re missing. It’s easy and IMO pretty fun. Give it a try!
I’ve just found out about the about:compat page in Firefox. It looks there’s a few dozen pages with user agent overrides in latest Firefox, some seem to be overridden to chrome. If you open a ticket on bugzilla, they might add an override to fix your environment too.

Huh? OSM is not a maps app. And this is completely unrelated to browser and OS support. OSM is a maps repository.
You can browse the maps of the “repository” via openstreetmap.org in your browser. There are multiple apps using the “repository”, like Gnome Maps for Linux or OsmAnd on Android… And many other apps: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Software/Desktop
What exactly is the problem?
