Google magically changes URLs in search results as you click on them to track you. There's a greasemonkey script out there that can stop the tracking.
Will Noscript ever have a surrogate script to stop it as well?

Re: Google Tracking?
Hi Dwedit,
Much of this is done through means of hidden JS in the header
By default, Google Analytics tracks referrals from a growing list of search engines.
You can also configure Analytics to identify referrals from additional search engines by adding the following line to your tracking code:
pageTracker._addOrganic("name_of_searchengine","q_var");

Re: Google Tracking?
If it can be done in GM, it can be done with a surrogate.
Just write it, or wait for it to be written

Hi Giorgio Maone,
Dwedit should know that Google is still his best friend, also when searching to get here:
http://userscripts.org/topics/49240
And would have found your out settings with Wladimir Pallant here: http://hackademix.net/2010/05/26/google ... snake-oil/
But the Google tracking is done in various and subtle ways, so I personally have Google Anoned, and I think all the identifiable smears I leave at the Internet combined makes my Internet excursions readable as a book, chapter and verse. Anonymity is becoming a non-existing animal. If I use tor in Mozilla with NS active I have to fill out 4 captcha's for Google to decide that I am a human entity and not an automated process, but we should not make it that easy for them to track our clicks and profile, so consider this:
