(JavaScript) Remove tracking script in Google search results - wizard04

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 23:31:54 UTC

A recent update to either Google's search results page or Firefox's Tab Mix Plus add-on has prevented a locked tab from opening links in a new tab. This Greasemonkey script removes the tracking code on the Google links that causes the problem. I don't understand what the incompatibility is though, since the tracking script just changes the href attribute at the last minute. Based on a script at [http://www.searchlores.org/ritz\_google\_anti\_snoop.htm](http://www.searchlores.org/ritz_google_anti_snoop.htm).

(Other) --Snipplr-- Workaround: Code in Comments - wizard04

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 11:57:52 UTC

For some reason, Snipplr has decided not to HTML-encode < and > signs (i.e., replacing them with `<` and `>`) that a user inputs into a comment box, and instead strips anything that looks like a tag from the comment entirely. So, if you enter something like `<div>test</div>` in the comment box, you would expect to see <div>test</div> in the post but you would actually end up with `test`. The exceptions that I've found are ``, ``, ``, ``, and `` tags. The only reliable way to get around this odd implementation is to use the code tag with its content already HTML-encoded, just like you would if you were writing your own HTML. So entering something like <code><div>test</div></code> will give the expected result <div>test</div>. Note that you will also have to replace the back-ticks with ``` FYI, here is the code I used to create this description itself. The same code is entered in the first comment below (note the difference where the back-ticks are used to surround this: `

test

`).
