## What it is
Google Unlocked is an open-source browser extension that reveals Google search results hidden due to takedown complaints. It scans Google's complaint notices, extracts the censored links, and injects them back into the search results page.

## Use cases
- see google search results removed due to dmca complaints
- uncensor google search results
- find links google hid from search results
- recover censored urls from google takedown notices
- install a userscript that restores hidden search results
- bypass google search filtering of complaint-flagged pages

## When to choose
- you suspect Google is hiding relevant results for your query due to copyright or other complaints
- you want a lightweight extension or userscript rather than a separate search engine
- you use Chrome, Firefox, or any Chromium-based browser and can install extensions manually

## When to avoid
- you need an install from the official Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons, since it was taken down from both
- you want a maintained product with an active release cycle, as the latest release dates to late 2023
- you need a license-backed project for commercial or legal use, since no license is provided
