[Request] Add support for news.google.com

[FatOrangutan]

All links on Google news redirect through Google before taking you to the actual link.

Would be great if support for this can be added.

Cannot reproduce, please provide examples.

With Direct Links Out v2.16, Greasemonkey 3.10beta1, Firefox 55.0a1 (2017-04-12).

STR:

1. Add https://news.google.com/* to the script's included URL so that it runs there.
2. Go to https://news.google.com/.
3. Right click a story's link > Open in new tab. Immediately switch to the newly opened tab (ctrl+tab might be helpful).

AR: Watch URL redirect from gibberish (e.g.: https://news.google.com/news/url?sr=1&ct2=in%2F0_0_s_2_1_a&sa=t&usg=AFQjCNH3LYYcdpY_4tX6MQbF_Dxm-elVMQ&cid=52779463036408&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cricbuzz.com%2Fcricket-news%2F94074%2Fipl-2017-rcb-cricket-chris-gayles-form-key-to-rcbs-revival&ei=nKT2WMDPJJSQ4QKlmayYAw&rt=HOMEPAGE&vm=STANDARD&bvm=section&did=-2918636415283716038&sid=toptop&ssid=h&st=1&at=dt0_) to actual URL (for above, http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/94074/ipl-2017-rcb-cricket-chris-gayles-form-key-to-rcbs-revival).

BTW, I noticed that you forked the repo and fixed a couple of issues. Could you fix them in the same branch or maybe upload to Greasyfork, so that I can install your userscript instead of this one, as it seems to no longer being developed. Thanks.

[nokeya]

If you open a link with middle mouse click it will go without redirection.
But this is really is an issue, Google+ is another site with this behaviour. I don't know how to fix this at this moment

[FatOrangutan]

Oh hey, you are back :)
Sorry for prematurely assuming that this script was abandoned.

[vad1m]

Unfortunately was not able to reproduce anyway :) Maybe that's because I have some other blocking rules in umatrix or ublock.

Any movement on this?

This is the markup for a link to https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/02/usb-3-2-is-going-to-make-the-current-usb-branding-even-worse/ after the redirect in news.google.com:

Base64 decoding that produces:

I am not sure what the extra garbage is, but the final URL is clearly there. You could split on https and you would have the URL at index 1 of the resulting array.

Any chance you might be able to use this to get the script working for Google News?
