Then click the link to Learn about Lite Mode. On that page is a button that says USE MAPS WITH 3D. This opens a new browser window with the maps in 3D mode. The setting doesn't stick, unfortunately. But at least it can be enabled for a session. It might be possible to figure out how it decides that the client does not have the requirements and fake it. WebGL might be what it is looking for, although it is obviously not required.

Nothing lost, if you ask me. ;) The new street view in Lite mode has a weird fisheye thing going on. The 3D version is better... like the old version.
