Google: strip tracking params from links
Replaces Google redirects with direct URLs and clears tracking parameters from result links.
Code to copy
// Strip Google tracking params from result links so clicks stay clean
function cleanLinks() {
document.querySelectorAll('#search a[href]').forEach(function (a) {
try {
const u = new URL(a.href, location.origin);
if (u.hostname.endsWith('google.com') && u.pathname === '/url') {
const real = u.searchParams.get('q') || u.searchParams.get('url');
if (real) { a.href = real; }
return;
}
['ved', 'usg', 'sa', 'ei', 'gs_lcrp'].forEach(function (p) {
u.searchParams.delete(p);
});
a.href = u.toString();
} catch (e) {}
});
}

const obs = new MutationObserver(cleanLinks);
obs.observe(document.documentElement, { childList: true, subtree: true });How to use this example
