Hi,
I am most peeved by Google's recent change that make it impossible to copy URLs or Save Link As... from the search results pages.
So I wrote a couple scripts to ease the process a bit. <snip> ...
Thanks for the scripts.
IF I continue using Google, they will come in handy.

What would be really nice would be a way to connect this up to just open a tab or window using the data extracted by these scripts, rather than stopping at presenting the bare bones URL (although this alone would be a big help, going forward.)
If you bind sgruget to a global shortcut then you can simply right-click, Copy Link Location and press the <sgruget> key. If you want to open the link in a tab or window, the browser still does that even with SGRUs. If you want to visit links without giving Google feedback about which of the hits you chose, you can use a script (I have one that I use frequently for opening tabs from the command line, but it would need to have a --sgru option added) and bind that script to a shortcut key. Then accessing a URL from a Google search results page in a tab without feedback to Google would be achieved by copying the link and hitting the accelerator key.
Any idea if this would be a feasible extension?
I have little doubt a browser extension could do it without all the gyrations outlined above, but that's really just a guess and I've never written a browser extension—for any browser.
