Prevent Google from mangling search result links when click/copying on Firefox
6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 27 Sep 2021

I wrote a simple addon that avoids just that https://github.com/dandanua/copy-true-link
The code doesn't prevent event propagation, instead it copies the link before propagation happens. I guess this way is more reliable.
Google Removed ClearURLs Extension from Chrome Web Store
15 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 24 Mar 2021

I wrote a very basic extension Copy True Link https://github.com/dandanua/copy-true-link
It doesn't remove trackers from the URLs yet, but at least you can copy what is displayed at the status bar when you hover over the link. It's useful since a lot of tracking sites (like FB) substitute that status bar link for the tracking one before clicking.
I think I'll add some cleaning process in the future.

Don't know why you're being down voted for being cautious? I may not personally get it but it's never bad being cautious. If it does help, ClearURLs is open source so anyone can see the code.

But yeah totally agree with you, for other people like me and that don't want to waste time manually editing URLs I can recommend the Open Link With... app on Android and the ClearURLs extension for browsers (Firefox/Chromium)

You can use the ClearURLs addon. I've been using it for years. It's not perfect, but it automatically removes a lot of tracking stuff. Everyone should be using it actually.
