Google Search link cleaner

Script Summary: A simple script to clean urls of Google search results so that they point to the actual webpage instead of redirecting through a local url.

When using Google search, clicks to search results are redirected through Google's page: an onmousedown event handler changes the link to point to www.google.*/url?... when the user first clicks it. This can be extremely annoying because it messes up right-click "copy link location" functionality. This script installs a second event handler which immediately restores the original url.
