I have never experienced this behavior in google, but would be very annoyed if I had.

My question is: Why haven't I ever experienced this? I use firefox with adblock (with a very limited filter - nothing on google is blocked) and noscript (nothing on google is blocked).

My other addons have no reason to alter google's search page.

noscript is the key; the HTML of the search result pages contain the direct links, and a javascript piece that is loaded later on adds the tracker URL.

But noscript says that it's not blocking anything on my search results pages. Does google detect my addons and remove the redirects if I might be blocking them?
