Google seems to have changed their format. The old style URL:
google.com/search?q=asdf

Now redirects you to the new style URL:
google.com/#q=asdf

"noscript.surrogate.glinks.sources" (i.e. "!@^https?://[^/]+google\..*/search") only matches the old format which results in the glinks replacement never being hit. I think a better regex would be something like:
Also, "noscript.surrogate.glinks.replacement" seems way too complex to me. My old userscript which thwarted google tracking was simply:
Though I've only tested it on the google.com search results page. I have no idea how google does external URL tracking across their vast pages.

noscript.surrogate.glinks works here inconsistently now. Some search results give direct links, some not.
here [threads merged by moderator] is posted it wouldn't work at all

Seems direct links appear some times on a second hover

Merged the two topics because the root cause is surely the same.

I can confirm the inconsistent behavior. I can also confirm that there are now two styles of google search URL in google.com searching, but which one I get depends on how I do the search. Not seeing any redirections.
