save link address and google search results

Hello opera users:

Recently google search results are redirected and do not point to the
target url, but to a gibberish google link, which then links to the target site.

This has been discussed at many sites as google search redirection or similar.

The problem with this is that when I want to copy/paste the target url (eg.
into a text file) I can not get the target url. Even right-click on the link ->
copy-link-address copies to the clipboard something like this:
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CDAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.opera.com%2F&ei=U9TKTtn0FsuHhQe21ui_Dw&usg=AFQjCNGxN8XXYIZ2mq1WZD8EnnkPBOJBpg

instead of the simple target address, which is in this case:
http://www.opera.com/

This is not only ver annoying, but also make copy link address feature unusable.

Is there a way in opera to get the target link in google search pages?

I read that firefox has addons to block this agressive behavior of google, though I
haven't tried it.

What about opera?

Thanks,
