Is there a way I can see Google Street Views without actually opening Google Maps? Like, some sort of fork?

I need it to check if some companies still exists. Had to use my mom’s phone for some and got a lecture about “paranoia”.

Duckduckgo maps, which seems to scrape yelp?

It actually looks like it scrapes Apple Maps.

Kinda, but this one has almost no scanned locations in my country (Brazil).

Street View isn’t a reliable way of checking if a company still exists. Commercial registers exist for this exact reason. Calling the company’s phone or sending them an email will probably also do the trick more accurately than looking at a potentially outdated picture of their store front.
