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.

      Afaik there are browser extensions that find and replace these kinds of tracking links with the original ones.

      It’s probably easy enough to write a script that will go through the generated HTML and just scrub out the Google.
