Forced to use this because "Send To Google Maps" was thrown off Google in their never-ending tantrums. This extension will be usable till they come back, but suffers from many flaws. First off, it opens in a new window (instead of a tab). Secondly, it immediately takes you to the 'Directions' screen of Google Maps, which is usually not useful and just bad design. Lastly, there are ZERO options offered for the user to configure. Meh.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Open in Google Maps does not require any sensitive permissions.
