GoogleGotoUrl

GoogleGotoUrl is a browser extension that fixes Google Search links that appear as google.com/goto?url=... instead of showing the page's actual destination. It is designed for people who copy search results, audit links, or want to see and share the destination URL directly. The search result itself stays unchanged, with only the link being rewritten.

It works with Google Search in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. When enabled, copied or inspected result links are converted to their real destination URLs, making research, sharing, and link analysis easier. The original Google links remain available whenever the extension is turned off.

Key Features

Direct Destination URLs

Replace Google's /goto redirect with the actual page URL.

This makes copied search-result links cleaner and easier to share, bookmark, or inspect without Google's redirect sitting between the user and the destination.

Toolbar Toggle

Turn the URL rewriting on or off directly from the browser toolbar.

Users can disable the extension whenever they want Google's original result links to remain unchanged.

Visible ON Badge

See when link rewriting is active.

A blue badge appears when the extension is enabled, providing a quick visual indication that Google Search links are being converted.

Local Browser Behavior

Run the extension directly in the browser.

The extension works on the current Google Search page rather than sending links through an external service or intermediary.

Cross-Browser Support

Use GoogleGotoUrl across major browsers.

It supports:

• Chrome
• Edge

• Safari

Firefox and Safari downloads are also signed for normal installation.

Why It Matters

Google Search can sometimes present result links through a /goto redirect rather than exposing the destination directly. For people who regularly copy, analyze, or share search results, this adds an unnecessary step and can make links harder to understand.

GoogleGotoUrl removes that friction by rewriting the search-result link to the actual destination URL. The search results themselves are not changed, so the extension focuses narrowly on making the underlying links cleaner.

The browser-based approach also means there is no account or middleman involved in handling the links. With no telemetry, it provides a straightforward way to modify Google Search links locally while keeping the original behavior available through the toolbar toggle.
