Thanks, EU! is a Chrome extension designed to restore the convenient Google Maps and Shopping links in Google search results for users in the European Union. Due to compliance with the EU's Digital Markets Act, Google altered its search result linking behavior, removing direct links to these services to address anticompetitive concerns. This extension brings back the familiar 'Maps' and 'Shopping' tabs, along with clickable map images, allowing EU users to seamlessly access Google Maps and Shopping directly from their search results page.

Ideal for those who rely on these quick links for navigation and shopping, Thanks, EU! offers a simple solution to enhance the browsing experience in compliance with new regulations. For more background, visit the official Google support and blog pages addressing the Digital Markets Act.

Thanks, You! All these stupid EU rules, sigh.

Beetje jammer dat we volgens de EU maar potentieel gevaarlijke extensies moeten installeren om normale functionaliteit te behouden......

High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
