About this APK
Baidu Browser is an app by Adya in the Tools category, listed since at least November 2018. It includes native code only for ARM (legacy), so it won't run on 64-bit-only phones such as recent Pixels.

Baidu Browser APK: questions and answers
Can I install this APK over the version I already have?
Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.
Is the Baidu Browser APK safe?
No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. It is signed with the same certificate as the other version checked. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 353595aec97c85c1f8cfcaa46ea3a982.
