Features & Capabilities

Google Redirects Fixer & Tracking Remover is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your browsing privacy and efficiency by eliminating Google's click tracking redirects. Instead of navigating through Google's redirection URLs, this addon ensures that every search result leads you directly to its original link, saving time and increasing security.

Unlike other tools that modify every link on the page (which can slow down browser performance), this extension smartly intercepts clicks or pasted URLs that contain Google redirects and corrects them in real-time. It works seamlessly across various Google services, including Google Search (any country domain), Google Blogs, News, Recipes, Images, Videos, and Alerts. Additionally, it cleans copied URLs, ensuring you share clean links without tracking parameters.

Future updates will include a toolbar button to easily toggle the extension and customizable shortcuts. This addon is actively maintained with user feedback welcomed to improve its features further.

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Google Redirects Fixer & Tracking Remover requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
