Removes the annoying link-conversion at Google Search / maps / ... Don't track me Google

At the Google Search engine, search results are converted to an ugly link upon click. This link enables tracking for Google.

For example, the search entry

  • http://www.google.com/
    (when searching for "Google") will be replaced with:
  • https://encrypted.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=Google&source=web&cd=8&sqi=2&ved=0CFgQFjAH&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&ei=Ej__TrCkJo2bOrSs2aIE&usg=AFQjCNG5-9Jej-ukVeakTgwonqt2narbYg&sig2=f9f1dWcZoj6ZUC2Zxy9y2g

This addon removes Google's link-conversion/tracking feature. This speeds up loading search results and allows you to normally copy links.

History: Initially published as a user script (2011), later as a Chrome extension (2012), and now (2016) also as a Firefox add-on, because it is now possible to provide this feature in Firefox without side effects.
