The new version of Google Sites does not offer the option to remove the URL redirector. Google does not monitor these forums so please make sure you send feedback to Google to make your feature requests and bug reports.

The reason it's there is to protect your visitors from malicious web sites, and on the published site no one will really notice it happens as it's completely automatic (if you're trying the link from the editor you have to manually follow the link).

We have made a full comparison chart with the features in Classic Google Sites - see Google Sites Classic Comparison and what you can expect to see added to new Google Sites at New Features will appear in new Google Sites We offer a group you can join so you get email notifications when new features are released. Please let us know what you think and if you feel there's anything missing let us know.

The most used features from classic Sites will be incorporated gradually, while not ALL the features will be re-introduced Google is constantly monitoring the feedback and prioritizing heavily used and top requested features.
