I just noticed it today. I use Opera and IE and in IE i get the strange link crap along with the URL as well. Just wondering if you ever resolved this? Feel free to shoot me an email at my listed address if you ever found out whats going in? Did you ever find a “fix” for the odd google search results in IE? I just noticed it today.

It's not bulletproof but should work in most cases. Feel free to contact me via email. Regards, Igor Hi,

I'm guessing a GreaseMonkey script would be able to rectify the "link crap" for you. Are there any coders out there that could do this?
