I am so sick of google's search result urls with tracking info

Anyone know of a firefox or other addon to get rid of this garbage?

When i do a google search result the results LOOK normal, but if you try to copy the link you get something like:
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBUQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.zmangames.com%2Fboardgames%2Ffiles%2Fmerchants_marauders%2FMM-Rules.pdf&rct=j&q=merchants%20and%20marauders%20rules%20pdf&ei=pfYdTuaNAcyEsgK7_dmhCA&usg=AFQjCNFTT8lB_AUcHq1cUD0z7CrLfm4ffQ&cad=rja

im really sick of this crap that makes it hard for me to copy and share links.

there has to be a firefox plugin to put a stop to this, and honestly it's more than a little bothersome that google insists on tracking every link i click in their search results.

Have not tried any myself

nosh:
This only seems to happen when you search via the main webpage. I use GoogleBar Lite (it's not the official Google toolbar) and get regular links. I think this may also be possible with other sites that serve as a frontend for Google's search engine.

DuckDuckGo has solved my problems with the declining quality of Google.
