You actually don't, since Google doesn't add the tracking stuff to the link until you click it. But it adds it early enough in click handling so that it affects what happens when you click the link. To see this: 1. search for something on Google 2. hover over the link in a result; you see a normal link 3. right-click to get the link's context menu 4. hover over the link again In step (2) you see the link on its own; in step (4) you see the version with the tracking redirect added. -David -- 𝄞 L.
