- (2025-05-02) Вадим Шинкарь: Super!
- (2025-04-13) Dodo Dodo: Very good, as a EU citizen I'm glad there are extensions that let me break free from stupid user-experience degrading regulations that the EU has forced upon us. They always promote these laws being in the interests of the users but always end up making useful and convenient things broke for us.
- (2025-02-01) Anon _: TOP
- (2025-01-22) János Márkus: fixed my annoying problem
- (2025-01-09) Σίμος Σταυρακίδης: So useful and works fine. I still don't get why Google removed the link from search page and forced millions to lose time for extra clicking. Thank you for your great add on!
- (2024-12-20) Account: Simply does not work. Upon installing it occupied my CPU, google search kept loading and once it calmed a bit and after several times of refresh still didn't work. I don't understand other positive comments.
- (2024-12-19) Ondrej Melichar: Perfect addon. We, Europeans, are shooting our selves in the foot with EU regulations on tech. Was struggling until I found this extension.
- (2024-12-17) Housenka Kobilka: Fixing issue of Europe Union
- (2024-12-12) mate mute: The only extension that actually works. I like that the design is perfectly mixed into Google UI Interface.
- (2024-12-08) Brad Gibson: Thank you for making it so I don't have to cuss at my computer or the E.U. or Google for such absurdity. It worked instantly. I'm not even in the E.U. but use VPN's. Punished for using a VPN, or punished for living in the E.U. for others. 30 stars out of 5.
- (2024-11-20) Merrick: It is simply great extension.
- (2024-11-08) Altug D: Works as expected
- (2024-10-24) Piotr Hera: Great plug-in, working like a charm and fixing the Google Maps issue
- (2024-10-02) Konstantinos Koutalis: Awesome! Finally, I can have a better user experience when looking for places online and being able to instantly open maps from the search results! Thank you very very much for making this plugin and please keep it updated for all of us! :-)
- (2024-09-27) Fre Timmerman: AMAZING
- (2024-08-13) Brendan Dijkstra: Best one out there, easy for non-tech users to update, and linked to the open-source code. 6 stars. Hope owner can keep this maintained :)
- (2024-08-04) Annx Kieler: works like a charm
- (2024-07-27) 4XgxqHduZrzMdeB2zTO4jhozJ mIPmGz5zThNaKgwXBhyXJdruZ (QnNwk33LcexLkKu6zR4HhqIkR): eu is the worst thing that has happened to us. They make life difficult for everyone
- (2024-06-13) Damian Batorski: I missed this function
- (2024-06-12) mrma: Excellent, thank you. Hope it will still work after an update.
- (2024-05-26) Lukasz NOWICKI: Great job, finally back to normal state. Not everything "proposed" by UE is good. Thank you!
- (2024-05-25) Boris de Graaff: Fantastic, only remark is that the "open in maps" button in search results has a dark gray round border which makes it really stand out from all the other buttons. Not sure if intentional, but I would prefer it to be at least altered more subtle. Now it looks like it is a button that I have selected (it looks actually exactly like the selected button appearence of the "tools" button in Google search results, perhaps it is accidentally triggering that appearence unintended?).
- (2024-05-21) Marco: Thanks, it was not a Google decision it's due to EU (bad) regulations
- (2024-05-20) Guillaume Labranche: It just works. This really should just be a setting in Google Search... But instead we have to make and maintain and trust extensions.
- (2024-05-18) Viktor Lesyk: Stupid Google..
- (2024-05-16) nieczynzla: Niece extension man, thank you!
- (2024-05-16) Friedhelm Winter: Makes life easier and unf*cks googles idiocy
- (2024-05-14) Dávid Sárvári: God bless you.
- (2024-05-13) Katy Ikin: Incredible! This issue was driving me mad but now I can open maps simply like I used to be able to. Many thanks!
- (2024-05-12) Sven Kok-de Laat: Does exactly what it says. Perfect!
- (2024-05-08) Pere M.: Althought it's always a little worrying to install third party extensions that can see what you're searching... Gotta say it works perfectly and it's functionality is just nice. Thanks for adding it back.
- (2024-05-04) Paulina Kwiatkowska: really helpful, except pleaseeee move the 'open in maps' button to the right side. often im googling something and trying to click 'images' right away, the button has a lag and when it pops up i end up clicking something different instead because the links move //thanks for listening, 5/5 <3
- (2024-04-25) Trevor Bezzina: There seem to be a bug when using from domains such as google.co.uk or google.com.mt the resulting maps url is http://maps.google.mt/ as opposed to http://maps.google.com.mt/ or maps.google.uk as opposed to maps.google.co.uk the code selecting the toplevel domain is incorrect it needs to select 2 parts in some instances like the above otherwise it is a brilliant solution
- (2024-04-23) Márton Tichi: it's insane we even need this program. another useful EU law like the cookie popup. 🙂
- (2024-04-23) jon 2bar: top !
- (2024-04-21) Barbara Visser-Neven: amazing why google why do you have to do this. Thanks for making
- (2024-04-20) Barry Hill: Works perfectly!
- (2024-04-19) Hx Ee: Super ! & thx for the explanation , i suspected smtg of the sort but was also about to blame Google corp for this "ensh*ttification", turns out it's the governments screwing over the consumers again, nothing new under the sun, ty lobbies...
- (2024-04-18) Henrik: Great job, this works as a charm
- (2024-04-17) Oscar Pradas: Just installed it!! loving it!
- (2024-04-14) Sergey Anikin: Same problem as with other similar extensions: it opens maps with the same search but result might be different. Thus the preview on google search page will not match the location in the maps
- (2024-04-12) Klavdij Lapajne: Works as promised. Only in English if that would bother anyone ... fine by me as long as it works :)
