AC-baidu is a Greasemonkey script that modifies search results on Baidu, Sogou, Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo.
The script removes redirect links from search results, restoring direct URLs to target websites. It strips advertisements from search pages, including Baidu's top and bottom ads and Baidu Baike content. The tool adds favicon icons to search results for better visual identification, supports single-column, dual-column, and multi-column layout modes across different search engines, and includes an eye-care dark mode with customizable colors. Users can customize page appearance through CSS stylesheets. The script uses asynchronous requests to fetch link information independently, avoiding blocking behavior when processing multiple results.
This script suits users who want cleaner search experiences without redirects and ads across multiple search engines. It is particularly valuable for those in regions where Baidu and Sogou are primary search tools. The tool offers layout flexibility and visual customization that standard browser extensions may not provide. Installation is available through Greasyfork and OpenUserJS, requiring a userscript manager like Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey.
The project maintains active development with frequent updates addressing layout issues, compatibility problems with search engine changes, and feature refinements. Recent work has focused on fixing display problems across different search engines, resolving pagination issues, and addressing CSS rendering challenges. The maintainer responds to breaking changes introduced by search engine updates and continues optimizing page rendering performance and visual consistency.
