Open your Google searches faster with the Faster Google search Google Chrome extension.

By default, when you click on a Google search result you are not taken directly to the destination website. Google tracks what is clicked on in the search results, taking you to Google servers first and then to the destination website. This slows down the loading of the destination website. This is where the Faster Google search Chrome Extension shines.

Once installed, clicking on a search result will take you directly to the website without going through Google servers first.
