Scholar: bypass click-tracking redirects
Rewrites href on result links so they go straight to the paper, skipping the Google redirect and the ping attribute.
Code to copy
// Rewrite result links to bypass Google's click-tracking redirect
(function () {
function clean(a) {
if (a.dataset.jzSchClean) { return; }
var href = a.getAttribute('href') || '';
var m = href.match(/^\/scholar_url\?url=([^&]+)/);
if (m) {
try { a.href = decodeURIComponent(m[1]); } catch (e) { /* ignore */ }
}
if (/^https?:\/\/www\.google\.[a-z.]+\/url\?/.test(href)) {
try {
var u = new URL(href);
var real = u.searchParams.get('url') || u.searchParams.get('q');
if (real) { a.href = real; }
} catch (e) { /* ignore */ }
}
a.dataset.jzSchClean = '1';
a.removeAttribute('onmousedown');
a.removeAttribute('ping');
}
function scan() {
document.querySelectorAll('h3.gs_rt a, div.gs_or_ggsm a, div.gs_ri a, div.gs_fl a').forEach(clean);
}
scan();
new MutationObserver(function () {
clearTimeout(window.__jzSchPriv);
window.__jzSchPriv = setTimeout(scan, 350);
}).observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true });
