Proxomitotron is a nice little web proxy that is easy to configure to do things like stripping ads.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14400070 Mon, 19 Sep 2005 20:18:23 EDT Re: Google seems slow for the first time ever http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14399600 pandora : Check out this thread - »www2.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14300673

Google has changed, and is now intercepting all the clicked on search results you have. The script I offered is from a package which works with Firefox or Opera, it avoids the intercept and speeds up linking by interfering with Google's script.

It would appear google is now using active scripting to intercept clicked links. That is you believe you are going to say www.nytimes.com, but really you are going to redir.google.com/someapp?www.nytimes.com I suspect when initially implemented they were a bit slower about this.

I have found a way to prevent the active script redirection from happening, and speed appears to be normal again. However heads up folks, google is intercepting ALL your clicked links off a google search result.
I am surprised that it took them that long. Yahoo has been doing it for at least 5 years. Most links to internal and external locations goes through a redirector. It is the only way to get meaningful statistics. Some is used for marketing and some for design and content presentation improvements.

Also Google has a patent on sorting found results with most clicked sites presented first (as well some other criterias, like # of references to a site). Not so sure how it can be used without a redirector. It is the only way to count clicks. Now I even doubt that Google had direct links ever.
