Programming Lang: JavaScript
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 script removes Google's link-conversion/tracking feature. This
speeds up loading search results and allows you to right-click or tap to
copy the link URL.
