Today I found out that google docs infects html exports with spyware, no scripts, but links in your document are replaced with invisible google tracking redirects. I was using their software because a friend wanted me to work with him on a google doc, he is a pretty big fan of their software, but we were both somehow absolutely shocked that they would go that far.
Write your own exporter in Apps Script if you have to keep using Google workspace
What’s layman words for this please?
Google has a thing called Apps Script that lets you write code to run on documents. You could write one that creates an HTML file from your doc without including Google’s redirects.

@IWantToFuckSpez @tavu another option would be to parse the file and urls and remove the trackers from the formal export. Or to do it by hand if you don’t to it much.
