Remove Google Spying

Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net

Available as/for: -

Description:

Google uses annoying redirections to track your surfing-behaviour (http://www.google.com/url?q=http://en.wikipedia.org/ instead of http://en.wikipedia.org/). This script will remove those urls from Google's search-pages.
It does not work with KWebKit.

On the title, the question.

Another thing, can you talk us, a little more, about how this works? please. I would be very grateful. Thank you.

I confirm that it still works, no changes necessary.

I’m not sure and I cannot test it today. You could just try it, you need the KDE-Ruby-bindings (korundum) and the CGI-package for Ruby.

Apologies for the ignorance but how do I install this extension in Konqueror ?

It works like installing an application from source. Extract the files and the execute:
[code]mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
make # well, in that case it won't do anything, because you do not have to compile Ruby-code
sudo make install[/code]

Then you should run kbuildsycoca4 and restart Konqueror and it should work.

Regards

PS:
Consider using a search-engine <a href="http://the-user.org/post/are-you-still-using-google">which does not track you at all</a>, but of course you can try the plugin ;)
