Extension to add Maps links to the Brave Search page
- Introduces a new tab on the search results page, which provides a link to your chosen maps service, showing the location related to your search query;
- Adds a button to the minimaps in the search results to open the location in your preferred maps provider;
- Adds a button to the "Place" snippet in the search results to open the location in your preferred maps provider (Brave already does this for getting directions from here).
Firefox version: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/maps-links-in-brave-search/
The code (useful for manual installation in any browser, knowing what is running on your machine and possibly forking it to make your own similar extension) is hosted at: https://github.com/stignarnia/add-maps-links-brave-search
If you have any issues with the extension or want to suggest a new feature, please let me know in the comments here or in the repository by creating an issue.
Many thanks to "Re-introduce google maps links to search page" (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/re-introduce-google-maps/mjkkdbmdflkcjmonelmlokplkgnjcnji). I forked it to use as a template for this extension.

- Does not work - no Maps tab at all - nothing works to fix it.
- John Rowell
- It works, partially - the add-on added a little button onto the mini-map that appears in Brave search results for location-based queries, and clicking on that button instantly brings up the result in Google Maps. Great. But, it does not add a "maps" tab as promised. And there is no way to change the mapping service to something else - I'm stuck with only Google Maps. If/when the developer fixes those two issues, it would be perfect.

- Not working. No buttons anywhere specified. Manual install from github not working either.

- nice

- Maps was the one thing that I thought was missing from Brave Search. This plugs that gap without the need to browse to another search engine.
- Damien FRANCE
- As a new Brave browser user, I really like the idea of the extension, which fills a huge gap. Unfortunately, the tab doesn't show up at all for my geographic searches. I'll update my review as soon as possible.

- Please port it to 'Fire f0x'. Thank You!
- Jean-Baptiste Hayter
- Google removed the maps button from their search page and Brave never had it to begin with. This was a huge pain in the butt and a truly baffling UX decision on the part of Brave. Thank you for creating this extension it works perfectly
- Arthur Marchand
- Very useful
- Stijn Otter
- This was the one feature holding me back from switching to brave search. Thank you so much!
