Description of the issue:
Can’t display maps in duckduckgo
**Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary)
1 Set DuckDuckGo as default search engine (I’m using Win10)
2. Put “los angeles ca map” in the search bar
3. Map appears
4. Click ‘open map’ on resulting screen. (Note: In the bottom right it says Bing Maps, which I think is the default setting.)
Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):
Map pointer displays in middle of the screen but you see no map details. It’s just a blank background. Hitting + or - moves the pointer but again the map does not display.
Expected result:
Should see the map and be able to resize it.
Reproduces how often:
Every time, no matter what location I search on.
Brave Version(about:brave):
Core (this occurred in Muon as well). No problems with it in Chrome.
Reproducible on current live release (yes/no):
Yes
I disabled shields and the problem remains. I also allowed all cookies and that didn’t solve the problem either. I don’t know how to set device recognition, so you’ll have to explain how to do that.
Can you duplicate this problem? It’s an easy one to test.
I can get the maps to display when going to bing.com. However, they do not work when I go to DuckDuckGo using the specific steps mentioned in my post. You need to use duckduckgo as your search engine to duplicate.
@joshi,
I’m unable to reproduce the issue. It show correctly on my Win 8.1. With default Shields settings. “Device recognition” is on orange box. cc @Mattches for additional test.
I figured out the problem. It’s not specific to Brave (occurs in other browsers) and I verified that it was caused by a filtering app called Covenant Eyes. You can close this issue.
