I have scanned and found no virus or malware.
I am sick of these Google redirects.
FF has a plugin that works but I haven't found anything similar for Opera.
QuoteI am sick of these Google redirects
not sure what you are refering to
if you are talking about the normal google "prefered placement" stuff - just don't click on those :P
but, if you are talking about the virus that redirects you to something called "gogoogle" - that is a different beast
Go to alt.comp.freeware and start clicking on some of the links.
The problem occurs on both FF and Opera
FF: Tools/Options/Advanced/General/Warn me...
Your redirection "problem" is an important feature. If a site uses it, it means that you don't get content if you switch redirection off. The option to get a warning is useful if you hang around on certain sites that have nothing to do with programming :wink
It only happens when I am reading Google newsgroups.
specifically which link did you click on to get that redirect ?
it looks like it may be the end target for the discussion - i.e. a valid redirection
part of the html equation is to allow hyperlinks in pages :P
at any rate - if that target is a real problem - simply create an AdBlock filter and block it
It's multiple links. I will see if happens with safari. Someone gave me a fist generation iPod
Well, if you are tired of the redirects, then use a newsreader to read newsgroups! That is what they are for... What google is doing is for your own protection.... so nobody can hide a redirect in a link to point you to a bad place... this way you can see the real url that you are going to... Does the same on the Android browser
How would you know it's a bad url ?
It could be named anything.
Your missing the point.... Click to go to Google! (http://www.yahoo.com)
Where did that take you too? that is bbc code but just as easy with html code
You want direct links instead of redirects? Here's how:
//<?php // this line is for syntax highlighting on this forum only
if( location.hostname.indexOf('groups.google.') != -1 && window.opera)
{
window.opera.addEventListener('AfterEvent.load',GoogleGroupsLoaded,false);
function GoogleGroupsLoaded(e)
{
var hrefs = document.links;
const query_url = "http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=";
for (var i = 0; i < hrefs.length; i++)
{
var el = hrefs[i];
if (el.href.indexOf(query_url)!=-1)
{
el.href = el.href.replace(query_url,"");
}
}
}
}
Save this as "googlegroups.js" in you user javascript folder (create one and set it in "Settings > Preferences > Advanced > Content > JavaScript" if it doesn't exist)
Thanks a lot drizz, works like a champ. :bg
