This extension works with some limitations: Clicking on your map only pops up coordinates if Google doesn't pick up your click itself to select a venue, a business, a house, any point of interest, really. So if you click in an open field or the middle of the road, you will get the small black pin and the small window with w3w coordinates (and lat/long). Otherwise you get Google's larger window of location info (including lat/long and Plus Code). So this really limits your ability to choose w3w locations to give to others in the city. For this you may have to use the what3words map site or app instead. The part of this that fully works, and may be enough reason to keep this installed, is the w3w address entry into Google Maps using a searchbar search engine interface. You can go to your browser's searchbar at any time and hit: /// <tab> clip.apples.leap

Leider ist diese Eweiterung nicht funktionsfähig. Installiert mit Chrome Version 119, Firefox Version 119. Getestet mit unterschiedlichen Spracheinstellungen (Deutsch, Englisch) und unterschiedlicher Schreibweise der drei Wörter (mit \\\, mit \\\ und Leerzeichen, ohne \\\). Mit dem Support von what3words hatte ich Kontakt. Der Support konnte mir auch nicht weiterhelfen. Inzwischen wird die Erweiterung von what3words auch nicht mehr empfohlen. Der entsprechende Support Artikel auf der what3words Homepage wurde ebenfalls entfernt. Schade drum.
