Just tried it. It worked as expected: right-click, copy a link, and it's the link to the source, not Google or a redirect.

This may be a Chrome vs Firefox issue, as Firefox doesn’t support the ping attribute for a (link) elements in HTML. The ping attribute allows sending a POST request in the background to arbitrary URLs when a link is clicked.

They must have fixed it, it wasn't like this in the past. I remember being annoyed by this when I was still using Google.
