Google Search Result Link Hover (Edge/Chrome) (infosec.pub)

Hey all!

While investigating some malvertising campaigns today, I noticed that one of the sponsored google search results, upon hovering, appeared to be changing/resolving through rather than simply showing what link was being used by the result.

Any ideas as to how this hover url result works and if you can disable resolving/force top-level results upon hovering over anchor elements?

Malvertising is hot hot hot!

I don't fully understand what you mean, but google changes some links when you click them to track what you clicked on.
