How do I copy a link from Google search results to clipboard on Android Chrome? On Chrome for Android, when I do a Google search and some of the results are non-HTML documents, like PDFs. How do I copy a clean URL to the clipboard?

Example search: https://www.google.com/search?q=sodium+polyacrylate+msds



Tapping the result just opens the document for viewing, so there is no address bar to copy the URL from:



Long-press then copy link gets Google's indirect links instead, like:

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;url=http://www.hmsmedical.com/images/44-oc%2520msds.pdf&amp;ved=0ahUKEwj2msqg3tDOAhXKox4KHdRoAMYQFggeMAA&amp;usg=AFQjCNGEptV-_ZvoTUjoL68GOAAyrYtP0A&amp;sig2=4XRpaDAeBjkQZlxEUXWH9A


Manually deleting all that other stuff then hand decoding the URL parameter is a massive pain on a phone.

How do I just copy the link?
You will need to look for a script or add on that takes care of it.

MakeUseOf has a link for a script to use with desktop firefox and chrome, its possible the script has an Android Chrome variant, or the script is fine for android and that its the engine that you need, to be specific to Android's Chrome browser.

eg: look for scriptish or greasemonkey on android, also note since the script provided at MakeUseOf is outside the store, you will most likely have to do the manual-add they mention.

Good luck!
