Any chances of getting rid of the redirects in search results? It's so annoying that I can't simply copy the result link URL and paste without getting some crazy Google tracking URL instead. It's such an obvious fail that I can't see how it's possible to not have it fixed yesterday, it made me switch to a different search engine.

There is an interesting discussion about this on stackexchange.com.

It also breaks the browser history in Safari, which is really frustrating: http://i.imgur.com/pOQmo.png

I don't think we'll get rid of this any time soon. This is rolled out only for a subset of the users [1], and I guess it provides Google with valuable analytics data.

I've installed a greasemonkey script called "Remove Google Redirection" that seems to work fine...

Noscript has a surrogate that solves this; it works even if scripts are enabled on google search page.
