Google Docs adds tracking to links in document exports
This is because google docs is now widely used as a malware vector.<p>Send the user to a google docs page, and because it is on the google domain it is trusted by corporate firewalls and AV scanners.<p>The 'tracking' is in fact this page:<p><a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://wikimediafoundation.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.google.com/url?q=https://wikimediafoundation.org...</a><p>And that alerts the user to the fact they are leaving google and ending up on another site - which hopefully reduces the effectiveness of using google docs to distribute malware.
