You’re right. I updated my response.

I’m unsure what benefit you get from this though.

Not much, to be honest. Links seem to load a lot quicker with the urls simplified. Other than that, no real reason to do it.

Thank you so much. I didn’t even think about Greasemonkey. I went to make a script using your code and it said there was already one available. That script looks like this:

Edit: Updated script

(function() {
    'use strict';

    var links = document.links;
    for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
        var referer = links[i].href.indexOf('&u=');
        links[i].href = decodeURIComponent(links[i].href.substr(referer + 3));
    }

})();

and it worked fine. Then I replaced that code with yours, and it worked just as well. Thanks again.
