Removes the annoying link-conversion at Google Search/maps/...
This extension gets rid of Google's ugly (tracking) URL. This speeds up loading search results and allows you to normally copy links.
Source code: https://github.com/Rob--W/dont-track-me-google
Firefox addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dont-track-me-google1/
Available since 2011.
As of version 4.23 (January 2021), link tracking via the "ping" attribute is disabled by default. This prevents Google from tracking your link clicks. If you want Google to track your link clicks, visit the options page to disable this feature.

- (2023-03-18) Varniit Professional: Not working. Checked on several google searches and services to begin with.
- (2022-10-20) Masoud Amiri: The extension works on Firefox but not on Opera
- (2022-09-28) Bart Blaak: Bug: This extension causes the Presenter View in Google Slides to not load. Besides that, it works as expected.
- (2022-07-20) Sleepy Doge: This extension no longer functions as intended. As another user pointed out, you can shorten al search results simply by disabling javascript on google sites using another extension like ublock or noscript.
- (2022-04-07) Test D: Perfect disables imposed google's url redirect in gmail. Thanks, Rob!
- (2021-08-24) Najla Nur Ariqah: Helped me a lot!
- (2021-07-15) Clemens Ratte-Polle: does it :) You have to allow access to search results in the addons option
- (2021-05-23) Van Darkholme: Good shite man!
- (2021-02-28) Бог -: yeah! this puts google in it's place.
- (2021-02-21) Evgenii Golubev: Breaks Google Slides. Present by pressing Ctrl + F5 then open Speaker Notes by pressing S => blank window shows up. No presenter view.
- (2020-02-04) Alessandro Cheguevara: Rob! You are a good God! Long life!
- (2019-08-13) Rayan Refoua: Where have you been all my life?!
- (2019-05-30) Tom Chambers: No fault of the developer, but this extension doesn't work anymore due to the way that google have changed their tracking. I think they use javascript now rather than a proxy redirect to track you.
- (2018-09-03) Mark van der Waarde: Great extension, with a notable side effect: photo attachments in Gmail no longer open in a lightbox when clicked, but instead are downloaded. Discovered this by disabling each extension individually until disabling this extension fixed it. Here's hoping this issue can be fixed by the developer.
- (2017-12-08) Terra Nodar: Functionality of this extension is performed by uMatrix
- (2017-11-09) Andrew Orange: красавчики
- (2017-11-03) Sam Lu: 目前可用!thanks!
- (2017-10-15) Matthew: Makes browsing faster and safer.
- (2017-08-02) Finrod Elanessë: Thank you for this wonderful add-on. After my Greasemonkey ceased to work, had to look for a replacement and found this. Besides the fact of being tracked and the privacy concerns about this in general. What really annoyed me about this, is the simple fact, that you can't quickly c/p a link (for example to an image). It also meant, taking away part of our freedom, which i just got back, thanks to your awesome add-on...
- (2017-07-01) Dennis Tsiang: Really good for clicking on image links of wallpaper websites so they don't redirect me
- (2017-06-27) Matt: I just got it, and I already love it, I can load pages so much faster now.
- (2017-06-05) Umair Ayub: Just amazing, I hate being tracked by Google, and least importantly, your extension has made my Googles searches faster because it has eliminated the need of being redirected from Google's URL to the target URL, now clicking on search result directly takes me to original page. AMAZING
- (2017-05-25) Wolfgang I: wow
- (2017-04-27) Stephen Wicklund: Yay! Works great. Finally, can get the url directly on search result pages. (helpful, for example, when the site is down; google's redirect leaves you stuck with its mangled url in the address bar, making it harder to load the archived page using the web-archive service)
- (2017-03-17) Cyrus WONG Chun Pong: It's very good!!! I love it! Thanks for your extension =P

- (2016-11-18) Maurizio Poles: Works great but Since Chrome 54 there is an issue with Play Music. I had to remove the option to clear the http referrer to get Play Music to work. When the option is on I get error "Couldn't Fetch Recommendation, Please Try Again"
- (2016-10-10) Ralph Ward: Since the last update, there seems to be a bug: Impossible to add or edit reviews of places in Google maps.
