Curse you google! The script seems to be successfully stripping the google-cruft, but then google adds one last "?foo=bar" to the end after capturing the mouse click, so as to foil the GreaseMonkey script. I'll have to look into how they accomplish this.

It doesn't work anymore.
When you hover over a link it shows the correct url, but when you click it or right click it to copy it, it changes into the evil redirect.

This script messes up google shipping tracking number searches.

eg: If you search for
`9101962109104001646174`

There is a link to:
tp://www.google.com/url?q=http://trkcnfrm1.smi.usps.com/PTSInternetWeb/InterLabelInquiry.do%3ForigTrackNum%3D9101962109104001646174&sa=X&oi=usps&ct=title&sig=__WAN7_yuCFXeWuUTJ0oq_xYmUvTs

when it should be:
http://www.google.com/url?q=http://trkcnfrm1.sm...

Could you explain a little bit?
Does this has to do with the links in google which I cannot access because aI have a mega-host file that blocks most ad servers?
