Preview of Google Search URL Fixup

Google Search URL Fixup by Chris Siebenmann

Fix links in the JavaScript-free Google Search results pages to be the original links instead of links that go through Google with tracking identifiers. This is only of interest if you disable JavaScript for Google Search (eg via uMatrix).

About this extension
Google Search has a special version of its results pages for people who disable JavaScript. The search results links on these pages are rewritten to be redirected through Google (with tracking identifiers), which damages convenient copy and paste and causes all links show up as unvisited (among other things). This addon rewrites those links back to their original, true destinations. It is only of interest if you use the non-JS Google Search results pages; if you use the normal Google Search pages, you need a different addon such as Google search link fix.

This addon currently only works on www.google.com, www.google.ca, www.google.co.uk, www.google.se, and www.google.de because those are the only Google search sites that I use or that people have requested. If you would like it to cover an additional Google domain, please let me know (file an issue on the Github repo).

It's possible that this addon will malfunction on some complex URLs with unusual encoded components, because I'm not completely sure I'm correctly decoding Google's rewriting and then re-encoding the URL in all situations. If you experience problems, please let me know.
