About Google Maps Redirector

In order to comply with the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA), Google made changes to Google Search for European users. This includes Maps appearing in search results to no longer link to Google Maps and the removal of the "Maps" tab on top of the page. The extension brings back those features to your Google Search.
