It doesn’t seem to support Firefox or mobile browsers, at least not.
Maps on the web is compatible with these web browsers
On your Mac or iPad
- Safari
- Edge
- Chrome
On your Windows PC
- Edge
- Chrome
Ah come on! Why no Firefox support?!?
I just tried it on a Firefox fork on Android. Works fine if you spoof the useragent.
I hate that bs
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.
What is this shit?
Oh wow another proprietary maps service that uses opensource data that’s years late! wow amazing!
I’m confused, because doesn’t Duckduckgo Maps already use Apple Maps?
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…
If you wanna degoogle, https://www.openstreetmap.org is the way to go.

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