If you try to copy a search result, it turns into a Google url that redirects to the result. On iOS this doesn't happen for some reason.

- witty_username 11y agoThe onclick attribute of the search result does it, that may have something to do with that.
- ikeboy 11y agoIt does happen on Android. So apparently they treat onclick differently.
- hnmcs 11y agoI knew it would take a few bare minutes before someone would come to make that distinction about how Google search links work. Then I would have to say "okay copy the domain and path from your search result, which isn't a link, and which Google probably hides already (so this new advice won't work any more) or they will hide it some day, so the system doesn't work as literally as I described it." So if Google has found more and more ways to avoid people avoiding their tracking, that's fine, and what I said literally doesn't apply if you take it 100% literally, but at least you understand what I'm saying about how to avoid the naive copy paste surprise.
