platform: web
browser: any
steps to reproduce:
prevent maps.google.com from loading. (with a browser addon like uBlock, for example)
go to any taxa page.
you should see a progress animation, followed by a blank page except for the inat search bar and menu.
are you blocking maps.google.com on purpose, or do you live in a place where it’s blocked for everyone? since Google provides much of the mapping functionality in the site, it seems like you wouldn’t be able to do much in inaturalist.org if you block Google. it shouldn’t be just the Taxon page that has issues either. it should be the Explore page, the observation detail page, etc…
yes, it affects the explore and observation pages as well. i first noticed because of the privacy redirect addon, and then tried blocking google maps intentionally.
ok, but since you’re blocking Google, were you attempting to use the iNat site without any mapping functionality available?
yes. i expected at least some parts of the site to still work. i was just trying to look at the activity graph + embedded wikipedia summary, haha.
We just released a fix that should allow the rest of the page to load. How is it looking on your end?
