Google link fixer Extension

Prevents Google from changing the URL of the search result when you click on it.

Right click any search result on Google and you will notice it changes. This extension prevents this from happening.

This stops Google from tracking your clicks and speeds up the page load (one less redirect from Google). Works on all Google sites.
