It used to be very convenient that when searching for something that had a geographic location, Google searches used to show a small map which linked to Google maps when pressed.
Now all I get i a tiny useless map, that doesn’t have any of the feature of Google maps, and often I don’t even get that.
Anyone know why that is? And if there is a fix?
I use Firefox, but I’m guessing it’s independent of browser, unless Google is up to their shenanigans again.
I’ve added Google maps as search option, which luckily is dead easy in Firefox to do. At the same time I added Open Street Map, to minimize Google map use to maybe show them they are losing traffic.

    I’m pretty sure it’s google trying to get you to use chrome, as chrome behaves how you think it should.

      Ok, but that’s never gonna happen. Never touched Chrome and never will. It’s idiotic to hand control to Google, we saw how that went with Microsoft. And now we see the exact same shenanigans Microsoft used in the 90’s used by Google.
