Don't track me Google v4.28
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.
