Provides an option to copy the real link on Google Search, Yahoo Search, Facebook Chat and Hangouts instead of redirecting url
Copy Real Url Extension
In google search results and facebook chat, the links(urls) present are the redirection urls. This can be a headache when using chrome's Copy Link Address in the right click menu. This extension provides an addition option in the menu `Copy real link`. When you click on it, the real link(url) is copied into the clipboard instead of the redirecting url.
The extension also does wonders for copying Google Image Search urls. You get the actual clean source image url instead of the cached version(and obfuscated url)
