OpenStreepMap 2012 vs. 2022
If you go to "edit" mode on the openstreetmap.org website, you'll see aerial/satellite imagery too, licensed for free from bing and others. AFAIK, that license is only for editors, thus they can't have it on the main website (and that wouldn't be a showcase of OSM data anyway).
I agree it's a bit of a shame that the openstreetmap.org doesn't do a better job of showcasing the wealth of data, and it could be more user friendly. There are a lot of other websites that provide the same data, represented differently. https://osmand.net/map for instance. https://www.qwant.com/maps has vector maps and is quite good too!

Best maps
If you want maps use Organic Maps and/or OsmAnd on your phone or Qwant Maps on the web. None of these have reviews really except for Qwants sponsored results from tripadvisor if you search for hotels or restaurants.

Based on your experience, what is the best alternative to Google Maps?
Desktop: https://www.qwant.com/maps
-
Avid Chromer since 2009. Just permanently ditched Chrome for Firefox. 'Total Cookie Protection' is a killer feature. I'm so done with endless tracking and site manipulation.
I wish this was more configurable, some canvas-based app do not work with this option enabled :c (for example it appears to be the case with mapbox based games : https://www.qwant.com/maps)

OsmAnd+ routing tips?
Qwant has IMO a better and faster map renderer and also does routing. They are a "privacy by design" company. They also use Openstreetmap data with all the pros and cons that has.

How to block YT ads like a champ
The extension with the best success rate seems to be **uBlock Origin**. It is a community driven project with a team of volunteers, you can review the source code [here](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock). You will need to update your filter lists regularly, this because Youtube changes detection methods daily. Here is how you do that:

Show HN: Bedframe – open-source Browser Extension Development framework
Definitely a much-needed area for development. However, having gone down the browser extension rabbit hole, I've largely shifted my focus to user scripts. Granted, there will always be a need for specialized browser extensions like ad blockers (uBlock[1]), keyboard shortcuts (Vimium-C[2]), and password managers (Bitwarden[3]).
That said, I find user scripts superior for most tasks, despite some lacking UI niceties. They are easier to share, use, and crucially, audit—be it in terms of scope, permissions, or code updates. Plus if Manifest V3 is any indicator, the future for browser extensions looks bleak. While I don't agree with this direction, it's probably for the best for the majority of users, like my mom.
Your effort is commendable; however, should you find yourself looking for a viable pivot in the future, I believe the user script space is primed for innovation and could offer a good alternative.

Chrome refuses to load any website if uBlock Origin is turned on
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/wiki/Toolbar-icon - Says when it's loading settings and filters it will be yellow. Says exclamation mark means network requests were fired before ubo was ready to filter, meaning some ads etc might come through.

What’s a piece of software that doesn’t get enough coverage?
uBlock Origin a very efficient browser extension that blocks ads and more. Been using it for years and recommend it! https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock
- Is it possible to search my active uBlock Origin Filter Lists for a particular site?

uBlock Origin 1.50.* announcement thread
In some cases, installation may be blocked until browser restart. This is protection against accidental mid-session reloads, Issue #717.
-
uBlock Origin 1.50.0 released
Nowhere in there does he says it disappeared. He edited a previous comment saying it went away, problem with such random report instead of very carefully going through systematic steps is that it's easy to make mistake. For all I know the section might have been collapsed and he overlooked this. Anyway, reproducible issues have to reported at https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues, and in there we ask people to be thorough so as to eliminate mistakes.

why do I constantly need to refresh Chrome to get pages to load properly?
Adblock is an old, outdated, sellout adblocker, use uBlock Origin instead, I don't guarantee this will fix the problem you're facing but it is something you should address anyway.
