Not web dev related, but related to Google not focusing on performance: the latest Android release of Google Maps is actually non-functional on my Galaxy S7 because of how slow it is. It completely overloads RAM and crashes. Every time. Hilarious.

You should probably try their third world app version: Google Maps Go Edition. (See e.g. https://www.androidinfotech.com/2018/02/google-maps-go-editi...)

I'm kind of disappointed that this isn't Go the programming language. I thought "that'd be really cool, porting android apps from Java to Go." But no, turns out there are only so many creative words you can come up with when "google" is your starting point.
Gosh, thanks for this note! I thought it was just me and my 2.5 years old HTC that can't keep up. It is totally unusable as you say, for a few weeks now (crashes, slow, markers/directions not show at all while the app thinks it does)...
