// @namespace		http://home.etu.unige.ch/~robin0/greasemonkey/yahooredirectremover.user.js
// @description		This script just removes redirections on Yahoo! Search links. Now you can :
//					- see visited links in the color defined in Firefox options
//					- follow links quickly even if Yahoo! is slow.
//
//				NOTE : you can also hide ads with the folowing rule to put in your userContent.css : 
//				#yschsec,.yschspns,#yschiy {display:none!important}
//
// @changelog
//	0.5 :
//		- first public release
//
//	0.6 :
//		- fixed : bug with links to Wikipedia
//
//	0.7 :
//		- fixed an error in the Javascript Console
//
//	0.8 :
//		- small code optimization/clearing
//
//	0.9 :
//		- fixed : broken https search results
//		- Now URLs should not be broken if redirection is not removed
//
//	1.0 :
//		- fixed : unicode chars were broken (use of decodeURIComponent instead of unescape)
//
//	1.1 :
//		- code optimisation (thanks to arno.)
