Tedster, so there are other plugins that alter the appearance of Google results, without Google's consent, with impunity? I've totally missed this fact. Any examples?

There are many I'm sure. I use one that at first I thought was some kind of scumware and mentioned in other threads here but turns out it is actually very useful.

It changes the links on AdWords to point to the real URL of the advertiser instead of being redirected through Google. This allows me to click/check links without an advertiser being charged. Very useful for checking and nobody gets charged for my clicks so I can click on AdWords/AdSense ads all day long.

But it's my choice to run it so even though Google may not be happy that they don't make money off my clicks I don't see how they can really stop it either. Same goes with SU.
