Google Maps is showing a grey box instead of a highway number (lemmy.ml)

This started just today - for state highways like 99, interstate routes like 5, Smaller highways like 12, the highway number appears for a short time after a reload, but quickly gets replaced with a gray box.

Tested with Firefox and this does not happen there (Firefox ESR)

FAQ

Should I allow canvas access? How do I do it?

Please be mindful when allowing canvas access as it is a very strong fingerprinting vector; however, if you are already logged into a website you shouldn't stress too much about giving it canvas access because they already know who you are.

Canvas can be handled on a per-site basis thanks to RFP. You will be prompted for access next to the URL bar, so look for the icon there.

Why am I seeing striped images?

If you see striped images in your browser, that's most likely caused by the fact that the website needs canvas access to display them properly. Check out how to allow it.

I can try turning canvas off/on - allowing canvas for a short time to see if that fixes it.

I was not blocking canvas requests, so for now I have turned off fingerprinting resist. That has fixed it, but it was working before this morning. What do you suggest next?
