Nice option: Use direct links off search page

Post by paul1149 »

I just discovered the ~use direct links from search page~ option (under Tracking). Very nice. Many don't know that google uses redirection to track every click made off its searches. That is why my default search engine is StartPage. This is a nice piece of coding, and very welcome.

What would be really nice is an option to skirt redirection from Gmail as well, because google does the same thing to links clicked from within our own mail. This, in my estimation, is a creepy invasion of privacy, and I haven't found an extension to deal with it yet.
