I'm seeing that Firefox behavior in Chrome.

It seems to rewrite the link when it gets a mousedown event. Once I right-click, or if I left-click and then drag (to avoid an actual page navigation), the new hovered URL is the google.com/<tracking> version.

Also this only seems to apply to search ads/promoted results. Organic search results don't get rewritten, and copying and pasting a link address gives me the expected destination URL.
