This is a browser feature called 'service workers' which indeed allows websites to keep a process running for e.g. notifications.and pending updates.

Can be highly annoying. Visit ‘about:serviceworkers‘ to see the installed ones.

I'm quite curious for your custom map, would you mind sharing it here?

Then, please, add this single place :)

You might make the difference for someone else

It is not 'by OSM'. The foundation is not involved at all, neither are members of the community.

This is big corpos who put together their data, and they have to include OSM because it is so great.... which also means they have to open up this data due to our ODBL license!

And yes, we can thus absorb this data back into OSM, but it is not worth it

WHAT? HOW DARE YOU INSULT OPENSTREETMAP, THE MOST USED DIGITAL MAP!

(In all seriousness, I wouldn't be surprised that OSM is actually used the most, especially because it creeps into many other maps. But of course, this usage is spread over many apps and not a single ~~advertising~~ map product, where GMaps is undoubtly the biggest one)

Because they render the map offline (and have a slow render engine)
