Extension summary

  • 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).

The code is hosted at: https://github.com/stignarnia/add-maps-links-brave-search

It's open source so you know what is being installed on your machine (you can also use code extractor (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/chrome-extension-source-v/jifpbeccnghkjeaalbbjmodiffmgedin) on the extension directly).

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.

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
