Issue Details

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Upload a filter list file to your Google Drive account. Then, change the sharing permissions to anyone with the link, and copy the link.
  2. Modify the URL so it looks as follows: https://drive.google.com/uc?id=FILE_ID&export=download
  3. Paste your modified URL into your browser to test it. It should download the direct file immediately, without taking you to the Google Drive download page.
  4. Import that modified URL into the AdGuard Chrome extension.
  5. The filter is unable to add.

Expected Behavior

The filter adds successfully, as it is a direct link to the file. The method I described above works on the AdGuard mobile app, uBlock origin, Hyperweb on iOS, when called from PowerShell on Windows, etc. Every time I've modified the Google Drive URL to get the direct link it's worked in every application, except for this one.

Actual Behavior

The filter list does not import, with a generic error. Is the extension getting confused by the "?" and "&" parameters in the URL, perhaps?

If someone is having trouble reproducing this or has any other information to share please do. It's possible it could be something else as well, but this filter list does work on other services.
