> so zooming in on a tile could cause it to get blurry, until your client requests a new, zoomed in tile. Now, they can serve tiles in SVG format, which scale better

They still are blurry, because openstreetmap.org uses a JS library that does not seem to support vector tiles :/



Make sure it's set to the "Shortbread" layer. Look for the "Layers" menu on the right.


Hmm I tried the shortbread layer and while it looks nice it still pixelates when zooming in until it loads the new zoom level


I guess you're right. I see the same on my desktop Firefox on Linux. But on my Android phone it's pretty smooth.


It seems to just not work in Firefox for me, it's the same for me on FF Android but in Chrome it's beautiful! Constant text size while zooming and it's super smooth.

Edit: It also weirdly doesn't work on Chrome on Linux for me either, only Chrome on android. Oh well, hopefully they can bring support everywhere eventually.


I just tested it and it's def vector here - Firefox Android. Looks great!
