Are you talking about the status bar text? Google
doesn't and can't change that unless you allow them
to do it with script. I see the whole seedy mess in
the status bar.
For that reason and others, I avoid Google in general.
When I do use them I often right-click - Copy Link
Location, then paste that into Notepad and retrieve
the real link, which is between "=" and the first
ampersand:

https://www.google.com/url?q=https:/... nYYVknCEE1Tj

URL: https://somewhere.com

There are sites online that detail the various
tracking codes, like ved, usg, etc, though not
all of them are known.

Also note, R Radev seems to be the latest
pseudonym for Arlen Holder, etc.
