About Google Maps Defamation Review Calculator

In Germany, Google Maps reviews are often unreliable because it's easy to take them down with accusations of defamation ([Google's defamation policy](https://support.google.com/contributionpolicy/answer/16997273)) . 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. Eventually, I would like to collect these defamation statistics on a server and display them on each location without making the user go to the reviews tab first and also possibly make some public aggregated statistics available.
