If you are not logged in to Google, you get clean links. It's ironic that they treat less engaged users preferably. The redirect links are fairly easy to trim.

The redirect links are fairly easy to trim. The real URL is at the end. So in the worst case, just snip it out.
I'm sure there are browser extensions that will do it for you.

- quesera 10y agoIt had been a long time since I checked. I don't use Google often. But I just checked again, and you're partially correct. Some but not all links are replaced with the redirect on click or right click. If you browse with JavaScript disabled, some links are prepopulated as redirects, and others are not. Google is a moving target.
