MapLibre GL is a free and open-source fork of mapbox-gl-JS
I've tried very recently with Openlayers and their OL-Mapbox style package[0] - it wasn't too bad TBH, but not great.
Maplibre is still very nascent and needs a lot of work until it is ready to be used in anger. I do wonder if it would be better to put effort into Openlayers rather than trying to maintain this library - as others have pointed out, OL provides so much more.

75% of Nova Scotia's population lives in the red areas
Do you have programming skills? MapboxGL JS is a great library for stuff like this, you can really easily add a layer of GeoJSON data to a map. If you're looking for something less technical Google map lets you create custom maps where you can add a bunch of pins.

Experimenting with Mapbox GL JS's upcoming globe projection
From the latest commits (not released/stable yet): git clone https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js.git yarn install yarn run build-prod-min yarn run build-css Then use the generated mapbox-gl.js and mapbox-gl.css files. See CONTRIBUTING.md for more details.

Reimagining projections for the interactive maps era
> too bad it doesn't come with some code
Mapbox changed the license of their code last year I think to a proprietary one. https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/blob/main/LICENSE.txt
It requires a mapbox user license with billing enabled to use this code, let alone make modifications. But the source is viewable on github.

MapLibre GL is a free and open-source fork of mapbox-gl-JS
The software stopped being open source from v2 onwards. The new licence makes it merely shared source.
This GitHub issue where this change is announced provides a number of more in-depth explanations why this is a bad thing for most users of the software: https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/issues/10162
