Reviews & Comments of Don't track me Google chrome extension

Not working. Checked on several google searches and services to begin with.

The extension works on Firefox but not on Opera

Bug: This extension causes the Presenter View in Google Slides to not load. Besides that, it works as expected.

This extension no longer functions as intended. As another user pointed out, you can shorten al search results simply by disabling javascript on google sites using another extension like ublock or noscript.

Helped me a lot!

yeah! this puts google in it's place.

Breaks Google Slides. Present by pressing Ctrl + F5 then open Speaker Notes by pressing S => blank window shows up. No presenter view.

Where have you been all my life?!

No fault of the developer, but this extension doesn't work anymore due to the way that google have changed their tracking. I think they use javascript now rather than a proxy redirect to track you.

Great extension, with a notable side effect: photo attachments in Gmail no longer open in a lightbox when clicked, but instead are downloaded. Discovered this by disabling each extension individually until disabling this extension fixed it. Here's hoping this issue can be fixed by the developer.

Functionality of this extension is performed by uMatrix

Makes browsing faster and safer.

Thank you for this wonderful add-on. After my Greasemonkey ceased to work, had to look for a replacement and found this. Besides the fact of being tracked and the privacy concerns about this in general. What really annoyed me about this, is the simple fact, that you can't quickly c/p a link (for example to an image). It also meant, taking away part of our freedom, which i just got back, thanks to your awesome add-on...

Really good for clicking on image links of wallpaper websites so they don't redirect me

I just got it, and I already love it, I can load pages so much faster now.

Just amazing, I hate being tracked by Google, and least importantly, your extension has made my Googles searches faster because it has eliminated the need of being redirected from Google's URL to the target URL, now clicking on search result directly takes me to original page. AMAZING

Yay! Works great. Finally, can get the url directly on search result pages. (helpful, for example, when the site is down; google's redirect leaves you stuck with its mangled url in the address bar, making it harder to load the archived page using the web-archive service)

:heart:

Awesome!

Thanks Rob!

Works great but Since Chrome 54 there is an issue with Play Music. I had to remove the option to clear the http referrer to get Play Music to work. When the option is on I get error "Couldn't Fetch Recommendation, Please Try Again"

Since the last update, there seems to be a bug: Impossible to add or edit reviews of places in Google maps.

Can't imagine browsing without this extension. ?????

Brilliant. This has been bugging me for ages. Thanks for building the extension.

Works as advertised

still work well in 2016

Good!

chrome update 49 killed this extension developed by.... wait for it.... GOOGLE. google - y u suck so bad?

Works like a charm! 2016-02-25: It looks like Google is now doing this on sites hosted on sites.google.com as well, but the unwrap isn't working there.

Simply the best

Works great.

Been searching high and low to remove these redirects from Google search results. Such a pain when Chrome decides to have a blank page with the redirect URL in the back history or when I need to right-click>save as a PDF because it is so slow, and only saving the blank redirect page.

Loved it

works wonderfully, also works on Facebook too

By providing a direct URL, it significantly increases loading speeds from Google search results :D

Copying links and pasting them into Powerpoint for school was easy before google invented hiding search results in unreadable garbage. Finally with this addon I can copy and paste links again :D Get it before google forbids it!

Thanks. In China google is already slow enough. Indirection takes too much time. Thanks rob W and thanks google. :)

Works great for me,thanks a lot!

Amazing. Icon is not my favorite but as long as the extenshion works it doen't matter. This will defiantly help eliminate any redirects google will try to pull on me and also with my slow internet connection at home tracking my computer before going on a website dosen't help much and probably slows down even more with having to load both. Thank you so much Rob W.

say goodbye for that long loading time!

It works for me, the Chrome version is 35.0.1916.153

It works but: You have to allow JS execution on the google page to make it work.

does exactly what it said, only one I found that works. the others on chroms store dont work...

Signed in just to rate and review this. Recently another extension that was supposed to stop these google tracking redirects stopped working - but this one works perfectly! Thank you so much Rob W.

The only one that works.

I'm unable to copy URLs in their normal form even after installing this. Can you help?

It is working well! First time i was using Remove Google Redirect, however it failed to simplify the google search result url these days. According to stackexchange, i switched to this extension. Now it is working like a charm!

Works really well, thank you! A cool extension would be to convert URLs back to normal in Hangouts that have had the referrer junk added to them.

I never know my google search and chrome is tracked. Thank u man for providing a good extension to secure my search.

works today! Thank you.

Copy and paste now work again. Thank you!

K THX, BAI

epic

Has some problems with Lifehacker

Thank you! No more hijacked URLs on Google Search. I hated them—they doubled the time pages took to load, and they broke copy-and-paste.

Perhaps it should be called "clean google search" which is what I wanted and which is what I got. I believe it has other applications, but those are not much of a bother to me. I can now right click and save links directly. Previously I had to do this using a combination of greasemonkey and one other plugin on firefox. But this is easy.

Finally I can copy search results (copy link) from google without all the tracking junk!

Like other users, I appreciate what the extension is trying to do but either it needs to be reworked or the developer needs to specify how and where it works. It breaks a number of websites that process forms in certain ways and also admit of some google cookies even if the user has absolutely no googleside involvement, and most importantly does not completely strip headers reliably from Search.

This extension does not spawn a separate process like many extensions. That’s good. It also works correctly, which is also good. What’s not good is that it ONLY WORKS FOR WEB SEARCH. Google implements their click-tracking function on all of their sites like Image Search, GMail, YouTube, etc., not just the main Web Search site. It is recommended to use an extension or user-script that is pan-Google and blocks their tracking server on ALL OF THEIR SITES.

Excellent. A clutter free omnibox.

Good work. Let's hope it gets updated as google changes their links structure.

great

Didn't work for me in Chrome.

Amazing, works perfectly.
