No clicking problems on Linux. However I have noticed (not sure how recent this is) that Google is NOT redirecting the results with Google urls anymore! which is good news.

They still do. Inspect the HTML. They're doing some JavaScript magic and replace the link just when you click on it.

True, but I can still copy the link I guess, on desktop anyway, maybe it was mobile that used to change the links to google on copy.
