##Google Search, Facebook Chat and Hangouts(in Gmail)- Link Copy - 0.0.4
I was fed up of the redirection urls google gives on its search results - making it a chore to copy the link address. So I went ahead and created this project overnight.
A tiny extension for Google Chrome to make copying links from google pain free.
Generally when you right click a link on google search and select
Copy Link Address, the url copied is google's redirecting url and not the original url.
It looks like this https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCMQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FLed_Zeppelin&ei=DFHnU8_mK4Hi8AXqpIDAAg&usg=AFQjCNHIjSJNblTZM7fbhcTkrPNp14SnKw&sig2=L95WqCRVToubyMsGNnBFWg&bvm=bv.72676100,d.dGc
So I introduced an extra option in the contextmenu for google search links, Copy real link, using this you can copy the original link without any alteration.
Using this extension, the copied link is this

Now working for Google Images too. Using the Copy Image Url by chrome gives you an url which is obfuscated
and which is so large that I can't even paste it here. Using Copy Link Address you get a google page showcasing the image rather than the actual image and the url is like http://www.google.co.in/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fen%2Fthumb%2F5%2F53%2FArsenal_FC.svg%2F870px-Arsenal_FC.svg.png&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FArsenal_F.C.&h=1024&w=870&tbnid=c8b9XuiXT08oQM%3A&zoom=1&docid=mtxyyiAZz_EG_M&ei=_LjrU_KWLtXr8AXPz4KYDw&tbm=isch&ved=0CDAQMygBMAE&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=280&page=1&start=0&ndsp=10
It is cumbersome to use in chat, comments and such. Using this extension gives you the actual image url.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/53/Arsenal_FC.svg/870px-Arsenal_FC.svg.png.
Using this you get the actual source image instead of the cached(smaller) version google uses.
Now working for Facebook too.
When you copy a link in facebook chat, you get it like this http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.arsenal.com%2Fhome&h=iAQF4eyqM, using this extension the copied url will be http://www.arsenal.com/home.
Now working for Hangouts(in Gmail) too.
