## Description

In Germany, Google Maps reviews are often unreliable because it's easy to take them down with accusations of defamation (<a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/be40449c8c6782d970c7c984fb79965270d38fd2f42af6b7804f7b9cf7c3eaf4/https%3A//support.google.com/contributionpolicy/answer/16997273" rel="nofollow">Google's defamation policy</a>) .

Google started showing the counts of removed reviews in Germany in April 2026, but the numbers are a little hidden away and what impact they would have on the rating if they weren't removed isn't super obvious. This little browser extension embeds a widget in Google Maps that aims to fix that.
