iD VS temporary-containers

It's a known issue with the iD editor: https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/7381

For me a good example have always been https://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es6/ which rendered very poorly on Firefox. I see it's better now, but still, try to hover over the table (do couple of mouse movement, some circles or something) and see that it's not as responsive as Chrome is.

Another example is iD[0] Editor on https://www.openstreetmap.org/. But there, to be fair, it's also slow on Chrome but I feel it's a bit slower on Firefox.

I've had limited success in getting some imagery in Josm, using the rather old Streetside plugin. Some of the problems may be in one of the libraries used to access the Streetside API, but there are also issues with standard Bing aerial imagery in editors too.

website AND contact:website are not supported by iD, so further updating the POI with iD won’t expose the values properly: https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/5015

FWIW: https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/7199 is where this issue is being tracked.

I hope my first reply didn't sound too brusque. It's not just you - it seems like it's a known problem for iD in the UK and not (yet?) solved. https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/9153

The day iD adds a simple way to measure width on aerial, it will get mapped everywhere. I exaggerate, but OSM is a work in progress and better tools means better maps. Hell, RapID can probably eventually offer values automatically. If only JOSM didn't look like accounting software, people would micromap there more too.

I think, indoor mapping support is indeed something to consider. It is a rather advanced mapping concept, so it might not be on the top of the todo list right now. However, I'm seeing that some work on this was already done (see https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/4780 / https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/pull/3097), so it might be actually a relatively quick thing once the outstanding UI questions and issues are resolved.

Its developer passed away in January, but there's no reason to stop using it. It still works fine.

not sure on this. something like temporary containers would've been better, but unfortunately the lead dev of it has passed away

I use the Firefox container extension all day https://github.com/stoically/temporary-containers. If this isn't included, it'd be a deal killer for me. I'll check it out.

You should using Firefox containers, You can containerize ddg or reddit. If you care privacy more than ease then you can use Temporary Container
