Installation
"Don't track me Google" at the Chrome Web Store.
"Don't track me Google" at Userscripts.org
Explanation
I have written a method which replaces the link-modifying rwt function with untouchable bogus.
By preventing Google from overwriting the rwt function, the link cannot be modified any more. This method depends on the Object.defineProperty ...

See if the userscript found here for Google search works for you. I have been using it for a while now, and it's been working more often than not for me.
Edit: Here is an addon for Firefox: Google search link fix

I tried removing all the variables except the q string. It seems to work fine. One thing to note is that Google uses the # symbol, instead of ? which you normally see with query strings.
So, as an example, the URL would be: http://google.com/#q=my+query

Go to Google Reader.
Go to the Settings page.
Click on Folders and Tags.
Your starred items are private, you can make them public.
then you can access a public page which has a feed.
Look at the XML, almost all XML from Google Reader has something that looks like this:
<gr:continuation>CJyPg4L2wKIC</gr:continuation>
take that and add it to ...

Appears the rwt function is invoked upon onmousedown, and thereby rewriting the href. If we could override this behaviour, then we should be set.
In firefox I inserted the following JavaScript into a bookmarklet which can then be executed anytime I wish to prevent the (slighly annoying) link-rewriting on a given Google SERP:
javascript:function ...

TinyURL is case insensitive.
(To test: try http://tinyurl.com/28ygwgs , http://tinyurl.com/28ygwGS . http://tinyurl.com/28YGwgs, http://tinyurl.com/28yGWgs et al )
(PS: the short URL is link to this question )

There is a guide to doing that here.
Essentially just go to http://www.facebook.com/username/ and click "Set a username for your pages" where you will be prompted with options to set up a custom URL for any of your pages.

Not Long claims to be able to do this.
They have a comparison page and editing is one of the things they compare and highlight as a benefit of their service.
Snip URL allow editing if you register.

The short answer (the feed for Freeman's Mind) is:
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/49C3B7EDD1624C55
The longer answer (to find this on your own): you need to go onto the creator's account page and click on the playlist for the show you want. The playlist ID (in this case, 49C3B7EDD1624C55) is found above the list of episodes, at the end of ...

This should make pages crawlable by Google and friends:
http://code.google.com/web/ajaxcrawling/docs/getting-started.html
http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/10/proposal-for-making-ajax-crawlable.html
The solution works as follows: the crawler finds a pretty AJAX URL (that is, a URL containing a #! hash fragment). It then requests the ...

For short URLs, you can just copy the green text under the title as that's the same URL just without protocol lead.
For long URLs (those that have ellipsis in the green text), you either need a script or use a semi-complex workaround.
A script is necessary because Google modifies links with its own script on mouse click. If you hover over a results link, ...

Copied/adapted from my answer to a question on SuperUser. Consider merging?
1) TinyGrab
You press Ctrl+Shift+4 (configurable to what you want), then you click+drag to select an area with a crosshairs. It then uploads it directly to their service, and puts a short link to it on your clipboard (http://grab.by/shortID). It works quite well, is free, and can ...

There are a bunch of other CGI parameters in the search results page URL that determine which corpus you’re seeing the results for (Images, Videos, etc.), the page of results, etc. among other things. q is the most important, but not the only one that should be included when sharing.
Some time ago, I wrote a Chrome extension to copy a shorter URL for Google ...

Using Safari, it is easy to make your own extension to handle this. I used Develop > Show Extension Builder and added "www.google.com" as an Allowed Domain and then the following script as an End Script in the Injected Extension Content section:
if (window.top === window) {
var els = document.getElementsByClassName("l");
for (var i in els) {

Surely this makes a lot of sense?
Actually, it doesn't work as well as you might think at first. The URLs Google is using are stable: they contain only the document's id. The owner of the document can change. A document can have many users with various and changing privileges. The title/name of the document can change. If any of these properties ...

When you sign out of your Google Account, they want to make sure that they sign you out of all your Google services. Therefore they have this flow to ensure that you get logged out of google.
Your domain admin can whitelist accounts.youtube.com, which will stop you from seeing the error while allowing your network to continue blocking videos. You could ...

Reverse Image search engines like TinEye can be used to find this.
"TinEye is a reverse image search engine. It finds out where an image came from, how it is being used, if modified versions of the image exist, or if there is a higher resolution version"
I used one image url on it and results showed the 50 sites where it is used.

I don't think you can do that on Tumblr.
All those "messy numbers" is the Tumblr's Globally Unique Post ID. The part that follows (the "slug") has no identifying purpose on Tumblr -- All that matters is the Post ID.
For example, these are all equivalent URLs:
my-blog.tumblr.com/post/123456789/my-post-slug-that-tumblr-generated

You would need to encode the encoded space - effectively, it looks like the LinkedIn.com website is unencoding the %20 to an actual space, which it then runs through a verification check which fails, as spaces in URLs are not supported.
So if you want to have a site with a URL like:
http://www.example.com/?id=this%20rocks
You'd need to enter:

You can use the Youtube Data API to retrieve the feed of all of the episodes. The key is to use the special category of 'Shows':
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?
q=freemansmind
&orderby=published
&author=machinima
&category=Shows
&v=2

Technology behind this is called Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs) and it's defined in RFC 3987. It's use in URLs is defined in RFC 3986. Characters are indeed encoded in UTF-8. The "unreadable" form is UTF-8 converted using raw percent-encoding.

To specify a point, append a tag to the end of your video link with the following syntax: “#t=1m45s” (you can change the numbers before the ‘m’ and ‘s’ to edit the minutes and seconds, respectively.
Here’s an example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bibCui3lFM#t=1m45s

In this particular case, asking Google for all content on that domain comes up with a blank, in other cases searching with site:www.example.com in Google could quite easily come up with the main, or most popular, pages.

You need to go to Google Takeout (https://www.google.com/takeout) and select Google Reader and do an export.
The zipped file you download contains a fairly comprehensive export of your Google Reader settings:
followers.json
following.json
liked.json
notes.json
shared-by-followers.json
shared.json
starred.json
subscriptions.xml (an OPML file)

&feature=g-like is generated when you visit your own liked video feed.
Visit YouTube, sign in and then go to the home page clicking the logo of YouTube where it shows you your social feed. There, click the like button beside your profile picture, as highlighted below:
Hover over or copy the URL of any of those videos YouTube says you liked and you'll ...

Card comments use embed.ly to display content inline, so a link to a Twitter status or YouTube video will embed the status or video. Here is a full list of providers: http://embed.ly/providers. Trello only display services that offer SSL, though. And it won't work for any image URL, just those in the list of providers. If you upload images as attachments, it ...

Non-standard protocols were disabled as a security precaution, to prevent the use of dangerous URIs (e.g. javascript:) from being rendered.

What you are asking for is clearly not available at the moment and also, I say that it is never going to be available. Linking the of the Google Drive Account holder with each of his/her's file is something almost no one would want. There has never been any way to know the owner of a Document from it's link.
If you want your Document links to look good, ...

There are many ways of writing down your URL's. I personally am a sucker for Delicious even though the service has been facing some issue. The only reason I am stuck with them is because I have over 4000 bookmarks and have a few stacks which I like.
Usually, you can use a combination of one or more services:
Look at Faveous. Its a little buggy with ...
