Do you have a replacement for Google maps?

I’ll check that out! Thank you 🙏

I use Magic Earth, which is decent and works offline. Its not great at finding locations when you don't have the address though, that's bit me a few times

The business model is limping. with third cookie block and full delete, fingerprint plugin , adds and geo block you can use google safely without any problems. And besides... 90% of internet users don't care about their data.

it's not that simple. a "fingerprint plugin" is only as good as how many other people use the same plugin. the increased anonymity comes from blending in with the crowd. plugins are a known metric to identify the uniqueness of a user's browser.

most people care a lot about about security and privacy. they just don't understand how much of their private data is being tracked, recorded and sold without their consent.

Sorry, but firefox and some plugins, high sec settings and vpn is quiet easy and VERY simple. but ....90% still not interested in...
