About this extension

Google and Yandex search pages have the annoying habit of changing the result link when you click it. So if you right-click the link in order to copy it you get some gibberish instead of what you wanted. This extension disables that behavior – on any Google or Yandex domain, without having to configure anything. Simply install and enjoy! As an added bonus, the search engine can no longer track your clicks.

Known limitations

This extension cannot recover links after they have been modified. This means that it doesn’t work on Google Search on smartphones (tablet version will work fine) or if JavaScript is disabled — Google will produce modified links from the start rather than changing them when you click the link.

Source code / Contributing

The extension source code is available under https://github.com/palant/searchlinkfix.
