All Google Link Tracking busters no longer work

[kekkc]

Hi,

seems that all Google Link Tracking busters that rely on a general technique to suppress the click are no longer working.

Steps to reproduce:

1. disable uBlock or any other addons that might interfere
2. do a google search https://www.google.com/search?as_q=asdf.com&gl=us&hl=en&num=50&safe=off&newwindow=1
3. open browser console (in FF you have to enable "browser requests"), clear all messages in the console
4. click on the first google result

Console shows that google is called first:

uBlock is disabling it, because they are removing the google specific attribute (cheating ;)).

Personally, I'm also using the mutationObserver approach to suppress click on any links, which also discontinued to work (if it's a real link, with a real https:// target noone should be interested if I clicked it or not and I expect nothing else than that this real target is opened in a new tab):

const linkBuster = (e) => {
	aLink.onclick = aLink.onmousedown = aLink.onmouseup = null;
	e?.stopPropagation();
	e?.stopImmediatePropagation();
};
linkBuster;
['click', 'mousedown', 'mouseup'].forEach((event) => aLink.addEventListener(event, linkBuster, { capture: true, passive: true })); 

Would be awesome if someone has an idea here, how to REALLY suppress the click for google, even if they use 5 eventlisteners on click (also posted here: stacybrock/google-tracking-b-gone#8).
