It was a complete bugger to edit it when I changed the article's location, as I don't understand a word of Finnish.
I lost heart when they restored an older version from backups, so did a redirect at my end instead.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

Even simpler:
Use Google's cached version of the English pages while offline.

For Safari users: I Don’t Want to Be Counted, I Just Want Links
Canisbos (a very talented Safari extension programmer) has now created a new extension that's a super-efficient subset of his full LinkThing extension.
The new extension only handles Google, and it does so in an extremely resource-light fashion, and with complete support for Google Instant results.
This is for anyone that just wants the right to more privacy and link control on Google. No longer will you have to visit a page just to be able to copy a clean URL. No longer will your Safari history be filled with non-sense "google.com/url?..." entries rather than the real page.
It even has the option of re-writing Google Images results to point directly to the image, if you want it to. That's available in the options. It's a fantastic extension, and is the best one in its field!
So, without further ado, go and download <mod note you can guess, can't you?>, the definitive word in getting rid of this Google annoyance!Comment

Err, okay for some reason the moderator removed the link to the extension page, and didn't even keep the name, making it impossible to find out what the message was talking about.
To find the new extension, Google "canisbos gDirectLinks" and you will be able to find it. Not sure I can see the harm of posting the direct link? Especially since the thread was discussing the very subject of suitable extensions for solving this problem?
To mods: If it's okay, the direct link is once again: Mod reply:No, it's not OK.
Hope I've helped someone!Last edited by cojak; 17 May 2012, 13:21. Reason: Some people to too thick-skinned for their own good.Comment
