Is there any extension for a browser that allows you to change the structure of links in google search, so that it doesn't look like this:

http://www.google.com.ph/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBcQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.intowindows.com%2Fdownload-vlite-for-windows-7%2F&rct=j&q=vlite%20for%20windows%207&ei=mb66TOn4HYumvgP0kPW3DQ&usg=AFQjCNFj7Vo_pgyHyqoCC31j9jpeeJwd-Q&cad=rja

If what I want to do is just to copy the link from a google search? So that when I right click and copy link address, I will only get something like this: http://www.windowsupdatesdownloader.com/

I've found it on makeuseof before but I forgot to bookmark it, and now I can't find it. I think its a userscript – soul Oct 22 '10 at 2:23

This can be done with a GreaseMonkey script:

Afterwards, you will be able to copy URLs directly from the Google search results.

You can right-click the Omnibar and select 'Edit search engines...' to change what your search URLs look like. A simple Google search looks like this: http://www.google.com/search?q=%s
