User Reviews

The reviews praise reliability and straightforward functionality, with positive notes on cross-context compatibility (including PDFs) and using the context menu to open locations in Google Maps. The main recurring complaint is tab management: new tabs open at the end rather than after the current tab. Some users also suggested minor feature tweaks like keyboard shortcuts or a direct contact option.
Pros
  • Very reliable; it consistently performs as promised.
  • Works across contexts, including PDFs.
  • Context-menu integration to open the selected location in Google Maps (lat/long supported).
Cons
  • New tab opens at the end instead of right after the current tab.
Recent reviews
Works well, but would be great if the new tab was opened right after the current tab (instead of at the end)

Is Search on Google Maps Safe?

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.

Search on Google Maps does not require any sensitive permissions.
