I made some good use of HappyCow.net to find a vegan meal in a hurry when traveling overseas. I've even used it sometimes when out and about around Aotearoa, where I'm more familiar with the options. But I'm trying to use it today and finding it somewhat awkward.
For one thing, tapping on a listing opens a new tab, then doesn't return to the list when I press the back button. Which is hardly a dealbreaker, but it's not great UX.

HappyCow.net seems to have dependencies on Goggle Maps too. Which is weird, because on the pages listing the details of eateries, it seems to use Leaflet to display data from OpenStreetMap.
Maybe what I'm seeing is the artifacts of legacy code that only shows up on FF-based browsers or something? But I feel a bit ambushed every time I see it try to pull JavaScript from Goggle.

i just made a #leaflet-based map of diet:vegan=only places if you'd like to try.

i tried some of the other ones, but they were so heavy they crashed my browser, even viewing just one country, so i tried to make this one more snappy.
