Features & Capabilities

Google Search URL Fixup is a Chrome extension designed for users who disable JavaScript in Google Search. When JavaScript is off, Google rewrites search result links to pass through its own redirect system along with tracking identifiers, which complicates direct copying and causes link appearance issues. This extension restores links to their original destinations, eliminating tracking and redirect problems.

Currently, the extension supports several Google domains including google.com, google.ca, google.co.uk, google.se, and google.de. It is ideal for privacy-conscious users or those who prefer the no-JavaScript Google Search interface. Users experiencing edge cases with unusual URLs are encouraged to provide feedback. For users of the normal JavaScript-enabled Google Search, alternative extensions should be considered.

Is Google Search URL Fixup Safe?

Risk impact

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 Search URL Fixup requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
