Frustrated with Google's secretive click tracking slowing down your online experience? Bid farewell to delays and revel in a faster, more streamlined browsing adventure with Remove Google Redirection. Remove Google Redirection is a Safari extension designed for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. To enable its features, it's essential to grant permission in Safari settings, allowing the extension to read and alter webpages for all websites. * Why we should remove google’s redirection: Google's Click Tracking secretly monitors which URLs users click to enhance search technology, customize content, and improve advertising. This data refines search results and pagerank, identifying popular webpages and frequently clicked links. Despite its utility, privacy advocates are concerned. Users remain unaware of the redirection, as Google reformats the destination URL through its servers.

Verdict

The call

Voice Recorder (Premium)'s advantage is review sentiment (29% vs 0%) and ratings volume (20 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Direct holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Voice Recorder (Premium) has 20 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Voice Recorder (Premium)'s written reviews are positive against 0% of Direct's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Voice Recorder (Premium) ships an update every 20 months, Direct every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
