Showing screencap's of the "about" dialog is about as useful to the discussion as showing a picture of my dog!

Be polite and respectful.

I chose the the official Ungoogled Chromium 138 to match the "latest" Supermium to be Fair.
Hence the screenshot!
I of course already use 144 and 145. But Supermium is always late.

I can

Screen 1 shows I'm from Switzerland and my IP. 

Screen 2 shows I'm from Switzerland. Hence Google is offered in: Deutsch, Français, Italiano for me.

Screen 3 shows a random word I used in this Google search now. See - no Tracking links!

Screen 4 shows "about me" Ungoogled Chromium 138 .

Is this enough proof now? Are you satisfied?

I just noticed that when I copy a link from Google search using Supermium, I actually get the target link. But if I copy with an old browser, such as New Moon, I get the redicted link managed by Google. Why is it that Supermium has access to the true obfuscated link?

This thread is technically about Supermium (which is not being sent tracking links BY THE SERVER), your question is more about New Moon (which is being sent tracking links BY THE SERVER).

Again, this is all SERVER-SIDE.  The browser doing the rendering is rendering exactly what is being sent to that browser BY THE SERVER.

And New Moon is being SINGLED OUT.  Chrome/Chromium/Supermium/Catsxp/r3dfox - all of these are not being sent tracking links BY THE SERVER.

It's all in the USER AGENT (in this case).

 

New Moon without a useragent override (note: you have to hover over a search result link to see the tracking URL, it is not always shown in the address bar):

Additionally, and predictably, if you set Supermium to use New Moon's default User Agent, then Supermium is sent the tracking link version of the search results.

Again, all server-side.  The browsers are rendering what they are sent by the server.

But I feel like the TIME that was spent to demonstrate this PROOF is time WASTED.
Because my name doesn't begin with a "D" so answers, despite 100% accurate and true, will never be "liked".
Yeah, that was a rib-jab.  :whistle:
