About

Not "Thank you, India," as Alanis Morissette sings in "Thank U," we ironically say "Thanks, EU!" for depriving us of the convenient links to Google Maps and Shopping from the Google search results page, to which we've grown accustomed.

Recently, Google had to change its linking behavior on the Google search results page due to the EU's Digital Markets Act over concerns about monopolistic, anticompetitive behavior. For those who have become accustomed to clicking on the map picture or the 'Maps' or 'Shopping' tab in Google's search results to get to Google Maps or Shopping respectively, this browser extension is the solution. It restores these links back into the Google search results.
