Love your script. Great Help.

Google Cache is banned in China. Could you please consider adding the following code to your script during looping over links to make it work in countries where Google Cache is censored, in the meanwhile doing no harm to it's original functionality? I'd really appreciate that.


if ( /^[^\/]+\/\/[^\/]+\/search\?q=cache:/.test(link.href)){ //is cache
link.href = link.href.replace(/\/search\?q=cache:/,'/search?&wc=zf&q=cache:');// replace the href
}

Thanks

If I understand correctly, this code changes the query string for the cache result links to a slightly different format.

While this is a worthwhile reason for a userscript, I'm not sure I want to add this to Tracking-B-Gone in the interest of preventing feature creep (and keeping the script as fast as possible for the majority of users).

If there's not already a userscript out there that does this cache circumvention, I'll certainly consider writing a new script to provide this feature.
