google url converter is a tool that converts long urls you get from a simple google search to the original and more readable links.
If you search in google for some term, you'll get a lot of links that pretend to be direct links to the found pages. But actually those urls contain annoying and superflous information like tracking information. So this scripts helps you to get the actual url from the long google url.
For example a monster url like
http://www.google.de/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=wtf&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&url=http%3A%2F%2Fde.wiktionary.org%2Fwiki%2FWTF&ved=TYFYGFM&ei=3DyhjsdrthDrtfJygj&usg=TFRjhFgyJDFTh5dHdf3D_dgffgJDTYjhSftgdrtHDTY&bvm=ab.39486734,c.Def
will be converted to
http://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/WTF
If you use firefox as web browser, you can install the extension Google Privacy instead.
