A little addition to disable click-tracking

You have a terrific script, thanks. I am finally starting to dig into augmented browsing, and your script is a great introduction for me. Plus it looks absolutely fantastic with the Eclipse Theme for XP.

The other night I was searching for a way to disable click-tracking in the search results, and ran across the CustomizeGoogle plugin for FFox. It has a lot of nice features, but is old and unsupported and parts are broken (now OptimizeGoogle may be picking up support, but they broke filters and haven't fixed click-tracking).

Anyway, here's a short modification that I added to the top of your script. Between your excellent script and the CG plugin (and now no click-tracks), this is getting close to perfectamundo. Keep up the good work!
Ciao,

var arLinks = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (var i = 0; i < arLinks.length; i++ ) {
   var elmLink = arLinks[i];
   if ( elmLink.getAttribute("class") == "l" ) {
      elmLink.removeAttribute('onmousedown');
   }
}

p.d. When I can get Super GM working (a.k.a GM with jQuery), *that* will be perfectamundo. Then this will be a one-liner.

p.p.d. Do you think it's a coincidence that I found a lot more results searching how to disable Google's click tracking when I used Yahoo to search than when I used Google? :-/

Hey Gringo Guy,

This is great; in fact you saved me some time and reminded me that I wanted to do this for a while now.
Thanks for reading my mind and saving me the effort. This is definitely going into v2.9.9, which will be released shortly.

I really appreciate your help and ideas!

Best regards,

Gabe D
