Iulia, which stylus are you using? I mean, I assume you have some external device.

Have you tested Chrome on MacOS and Windows and Edge on Windows?

Hi Olli, 
The testing was done on a Wacom Intuos Pro S tablet hooked up to the MacBook / Windows machine. 
I have retested all of these platforms with the browsers you mentioned and I found that the issue is reproducible on all of them.

Ok, then this sounds like a website issue.
I'll report this to Google.

This doesn't reproduce for me using a stylus on a touch capable windows laptop (but that's not a wacom tablet). No abnormal blurriness when using the stylus to navigate street view.

Oana, Does it still reproduce.
Olli did contact Google on Feb 2018

Karl, unfortunately I don't have a stylus to test the issue.

Mihai, can anyone from your team check this issue?

Unfortunately we don't have the necessary hardware in order to confirm this issue.
