Copy Real Link Userscript
Overview
The Copy Real Link userscript enhances your browsing experience by disabling the original context menu of the browser. Instead, it allows you to copy the real link (direct URL) on right-click, bypassing any redirecting URLs. This script works seamlessly on Google Search, Yahoo Search, Facebook, and Hangouts.

Usage
