Recommending Brave or any other Chromium browser as an alternative for Chrome is a big no no for me.
Also, don't use Organic Maps, use CoMaps
What’s the issue with OrganicMaps?
Most of the community contributors forked it as CoMaps recently. You can read why they started this project here.
Damn, so one of the founders still has closed source code running on Organic Maps. Unbelievable.
I'll be switching immediately. Thanks for sharing.
I was not aware of this shit. Sneaky little fucks. I've been using OSMAnd~ for over 3 years now. Is this being affected as well? I did install comaps a few days ago to test it (I'm liking it so far). Any suggestions?
No, osmand is not affected, it is not related with organic in anyway.
The TL;DR is that while organic maps is open source the people maintaining it are running it as a for profit company.
Comaps is a fork that insists on being a nonprofit
