I don't, we, still don't know what asaone7 is running.
In any case, my post (mainly) deals with "legacy".
I did note that current FF (Quantum) would need an extension to spoof the UA (on a per site basis).
Pure URL for Pale Moon will work in clean up the "crap" part that my spoofed UA still leaves behind.
(You'll need to modify Pure URL, adding a "SeaMonkey" part [in my case] to install.rdf in order for it to install [in SeaMonkey]. It will work, in PM, obviously. Other browsers, that thing called [legacy] FF, depending on browser version & settings, may need to have a "signed" extension in which case you may be able to work around it or it will not work at all, depending.)
I think there is a webextension version of Pure URL?
In Pure URL, i added "sa=@google.com" to its settings & that seems to be what is needed to zap the crap (part of the URL).

Well that was yesterday, literally.
Google has been making changes (what's new).

Yesterday, literally, all worked.
Today, no longer.
Matter of fact, currently, with JavaScript disabled, with Pure URL installed (though I don't thing affecting anything at the moment), with my spoofed UA, I get crap URLs:
https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.vcfed.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-21420.html&usg=AOvVaw0hbtuGZOVQShjsnP_cmwSa
AND, Google now gives you a redirect notice:
Redirect Notice
The previous page is sending you to http://www.vcfed.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-21420.html.
If you do not want to visit that page, you can return to the previous page.
(though I don't thing affecting anything at the moment)
Actually, something with Pure URL is what ended up causing this.
In any case, the above work-arounds no longer work.
(And no more time to screw with this, now.)
(Have you ever gotten the ideal the Google may be tracking,
you .)
