Description

This site has javascript that turns legit download links such as https://send.cm/d/... into "shortened" links like https://shrinkearn.com/full?api=...&url=...&type=1

I found that this filter fixes the problem
||www.inficourses.com/_next/static/chunks/pages/course/%5Bslug%5D-dd27fffe2602e332.js$script,domain=www.inficourses.com

But I'm not sure where to add it in the lists, or if it is optimized, hence opening this issue.

Might also be a case to improve the new option urlskip=. The original link is in the url= parameter, but encoded in base64. So another solution which would work for all shrinkearn.com/full? instance anywhere would be to add ability to decode base64 in urlskip= and create a filter resembling:

||shrinkearn.com/full?$urlskip=?url -base64
