Suddenly all google search result, contain prefix like this
Code: Select all
(http://www.google.com/url?q=) (SITE RESULT) (LONG RANDOM CHARACTERS)
I don't like to be redirected like that, is it because a new version of NoScript?
How to remove that?

Code: Select all
1. http://www.google.com/url?q=http://test.com/&sa=U&ei=rzg7T7qoL8vMrQemkYSHAQ&ved=0CBkQFjAA&usg=AFQjCNEBVht780Hp7tcncYHixcGpF3cXxA

It's a new tracking behavior of Google implemented when user has JavaScript disabled.
Work-around in
latest development build 2.3.1rc1.

What, where, how is it supposed to work?
JavaScript (google.com) allowed, or not?
Cause I'm seeing no change?

First hit, is still showing the (whatever you call its).
Note that at some point, the same Google link may revert from the (whatever you call it) to a direct link.
Maybe even with the tracking, it only "hits" some times?
Maybe the tracker is slightly different & the surrogate is catching some but not all variations?
I've been clicking a link, then using the back-arrow to go back & click it again.
And in that respect, could it be that the browser is
displaying cached data, but at some point the actual link has changed from a redirect to direct, & so when "clicked" does not display the redirect?

Thank you, 2.3.1rc1 seems to have fixed the problem (FF 10.0.1).

pref("noscript.surrogate.glinks-ns.sources", "!^https?://[^/]+google\\..*/search");
It works on Google search pages if JavaScript is NOT allowed.
It intercepts clicks on links and "fixes" them on the fly before navigation, rather than patching the document on load, for obvious performance reasons.
The apparent behavior you reported is perfectly consistent with the above, and confirms the this feature is working as expected.

Still confused then.
JavaScript is not allowed (google.com).
Yet
sometimes (quite often) I'll still see the tracking tracking page.
Taking the "First hit" link I posted above, plugging that into the Location Bar & hitting return, most times, I'll see the tracker.

Of course, if you open the tracking page directly, by voluntarily entering it in your location bar, no doubt you're gonna see it.

See above.
What the work-around does is preventing the tracking page from being opened when you
click on a search result as presented by Google Search when JavaScript is disabled, nothing more and nothing less.

OK, that's why I asked
.
Nonetheless, from Google Search, JavaScript disabled, there
are still times I'll see the tracker.
(Let me get a new Profile going ...)

Thinking I may have a surrogate already ...
Code: Select all
noscript.surrogate.google_preview.sources;
ww.google.com/search?
<note the "ww." above? wonder if that was wrong in any case?>
Code: Select all
noscript.surrogate.google_preview.replacement;
ddEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() { Array.forEach(document.getElementsByClassName('vsc'), function(e) { if (e.tagName === 'DIV' && e.hasAttribute('sig')) e.removeAttribute('sig'); }); Array.slice(document.getElementsByClassName('vshid')).forEach(function(e) { if (e.tagName === 'SPAN' && !(e.previousElementSibling && e.previousElementSibling.tagName === 'SPAN' && e.previousElementSibling.classList.contains('gl')) && e.firstElementChild) { e.classList.remove('vshid'); e.classList.add('gl'); e.insertBefore(document.createTextNode(' - '), e.firstElementChild); } }); }, true); addEventListener('load', function() { Array.slice(document.getElementsByClassName('vspib')).forEach(function(e) { e.parentNode.removeChild(e); }); }, false);

That's the reason I was still running into the tracker.
Removing that & I look to be working fine
.
Sigh.
Let me try again ...

Forget the part about my existing surrogate, that is not affecting things.
I still see the tracker from time to time ...
(more to come, like it would ever end
...)

Video, 4MB.
Ye' 'ol Google Trecker
(Hmm. They converted it to Flash. The original WMV looks MUCH better.)
This should be much nicer.
I know nothing about "jumbofiles"?
Looks like you click download, then download again, & it should, download.
NoScript Google Tracker.wmv - 4.1 Mb
(Just a link to the earlier thread,
NoScript Message at each link.)

Others search-engine are fair. It's only Google!
