Description

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.

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.

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.

Bug: This extension causes the Presenter View in Google Slides to not load. Besides that, it works as expected.

Breaks Google Slides. Present by pressing Ctrl + F5 then open Speaker Notes by pressing S => blank window shows up. No presenter view.

Like other users, I appreciate what the extension is trying to do but either it needs to be reworked or the developer needs to specify how and where it works. It breaks a number of websites that process forms in certain ways and also admit of some google cookies even if the user has absolutely no googleside involvement, and most importantly does not completely strip headers reliably from Search.

Since the last update, there seems to be a bug: Impossible to add or edit reviews of places in Google maps.

This extension does not spawn a separate process like many extensions. That’s good. It also works correctly, which is also good. What’s not good is that it ONLY WORKS FOR WEB SEARCH. Google implements their click-tracking function on all of their sites like Image Search, GMail, YouTube, etc., not just the main Web Search site. It is recommended to use an extension or user-script that is pan-Google and blocks their tracking server on ALL OF THEIR SITES.
