I guess you're right here. I did my tests with IE7, where I had no any logins. But I tested it with Iron (I always run it in single process mode), where I had GMail account opened. But why it should make any difference here? Tracking links should always be removed from search page, regardless of cookies.

Now, about the highlighting tracking links in Google:
1. All links in Google search page are tracking links. So, special highlighting technique here makes a little sense.
2. I don't see that highlighting, because I use Google Light Theme and it defines its own set of colors (including "a:hover").
So, using a special class for tracking links is not important to those, who use different color themes with Google. I guess I better simplify the filter and would use one, that doesn't add special class in this case... Anyway, thank you for explanation, why it was here.
