I'm looking for a Safari extension that can rewrite the google search results so that it gives you the direct URLs rather than the long jumbled redirect links that often pop up.
If you're wondering what I'm talking about, Google often (but not always) gives you the results with redirect URLs like this:
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBgQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fextensions.apple.com%2F&ei=56lZTvqqCNP-sQKKzoGZDA&usg=AFQjCNG8RJkKTqQOF1SSdxFTGI4J6iArug
which make it a pain when trying to share/copy&paste a link, not to mention whatever additional tracking nonsense goes on behind the scenes.
It's definitely possible, as there seem to be some Greasemonkey scripts available for Firefox, but I haven't been able to find any Safari extensions that do this so far.

Here's the extension you're looking for:

It's called Disable ClickTracker by Pedro Campelo Cavalcanti.
"Disable ClickTracker" removes click tracking on the initial page load. It will not work for people using Google Instant Search.
The only extension that handles both regular and Google Instant results is the new gDirectLinks.
