Okay so today I realized that every link I was clicking in Google was running through a URL redirector (http://www.google.com/url) and this really torqued me. Google tends to be invasive enough as it is with the way it tracks people's movements, but figuring out which link they click, every time they click on a search result is just _wrong_. That's taking the tracking to far and I now deem it time to fight back.

So I fired up Greasemonkey, however before I started in on my script I decided to check online to see if someone else was equally irked and had already saved me the trouble of writing a script. Turns out there is!

I dropped that script into Greasemonkey, hard-refreshed a search results page and bam! No more evil.

Yay!
