Annoying Google URLs

Am I the only one that finds annoying the URLs Google uses in their results pages?

I mean, I often do a quick search just to find the reference URLs for blog posts, and then I see a Title (and below it and the summary, a green URL without the scheme.

Copying this URL used to work, but since maybe one year ago they use redirection to track search results, so I end up pasting something like:

http://www.google.es/url?sa=t&ct=res&
cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgenshi.edgewall.org%2F&
ei=mITKRs3VHpCkwgGltdCjAQ&
usg=AFQjCNFaRi_4TQ6PEtEeU8OuquQAoMKG0Q&
sig2=d1BGlREG7SCpmc-dFJyYQg

(I cut it for readability) which really sucks hard.

Suggestion to Google: Please, let us have a clean copy of the URL to paste it in our blogs. Isn't there an automated way to use a greasemonkey script to clean the clipboard on copy with a bit of javascript?

Scriptlets for URL preprocessing

I pointed towards the idea of a javascript based snippet of code that would clean the ugly google URLs in the result page to ease copy-pasting of them. We can probably get Google to do it just under the threat to bypass completely their redirect scheme...

Script to make tiny URLs less opaque

I asked the lazyweb some time ago about hacks to get a couple of things done:  skip the redirect on google search results (at least for cut&paste purposes) tinyurls less opaque  The second one was getting more and more critical as use of twitter a... [more]

Trackback from Santiago Gala at
They’ve been tracking search results for as long as I remember but they’ve always done it using just Javascript before. I think it was something like setting the href correctly but having an onclick that did the tracking. I think the new URLs (with the redirect in the href) that you’re seeing only come up when you’re logged in. If you log out you get the old way.
