If I search for the word "test"

Hover over any search result before you click it

The first result in the page is for speedtest.net

https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.speedtest.net/&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwiJ5IyG2c34AhUYD0QIHf1vAvcQFnoECAsQAg&usg=AOvVaw1lY754z1WsNxneOiDs7d3L

Why can't the extra junk be removed?

This addon is so convoluted I can figure out what it actually does

I’m not sure what you’re looking for?

The link gets cleaned when you click it, not before, because the addon cleans all requests not just links. Also this avoids links being rewritten and other similar tricks, e.g. google results with javascript enabled has https://www.speedtest.net as a link when hovered, but that gets changed to the link you copied when clicked:

The link you copied gets cleaned to https://www.speedtest.net/ so with all rubbish removed − you can test it on https://cimbali.github.io/CleanLinks/
