Great project, but they use Google Ads and Google Analytics.

Why does it not load tiles on Firefox nor Librewolf?

Sounds like you've disabled webgl

No, definitively not it. It shows the sphere and even some city names, but just no background map:

It rather is that Mapbox doesn't trus my browser and gives me a "forbidden":

Guess firefox isn't corporate enough for them!

@redd @enemenemu It uses Mapbox which has it's standard © OpenStreetMap notice. Not sure why that doesn't include the ODbL but I'm pretty sure that "our attribution notice" is permitted as just "© OpenStreetMap".
Otherwise 80% of OSM-based apps are not "credited correctly" but the OSMF is fine with it?

Nice! Where does it get the traffic data from? I couldn't find the information anywhere

Sadly it does not seem like open data to me. Hopefully one day we'll have open traffic data for any osm app like OsmAnd or Organic maps 🤞

Oh, yeah, no it isn't open data. This type of data is very hard to build in an open data way: people don't like to contribute privatey data and they will only use such a system if it is big enough...
