Google Maps Defamation Review Calculator

ExtensionFunctionality & UI

Overview

Shows an adjusted Google Maps rating that accounts for reviews removed due to defamation complaints.

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.
