I've had my eye on this domain for a while now because these links are utterly excessive and incredibly annoying. Most decent ad-blockers will block this domain by default, but considering there's a staggering 3,700 character difference between the original link and the result I would like to add support for these links if possible.

Originally I thought this was Base64URL but attempting to decode results in what looks like gibberish. I'm no expert so I'll leave this issue open in case someone else wants to take a look.

what if we use a URL-Shortener? will it help?

A URL shortening service would still redirect to the original URL, the objective here is to decode the z parameter to find the target URL. You can see an example of this on the decode page of the wiki.

it might be Fernet encryption. I googled gAAAAAB thinking it might be some sort of file type/encoding header a link about someone trying to decrypt a CSV file. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57194710/decrypting-a-fernet-csv-encoding-issue-pandas) The data looked pretty similar.

I played around a bit with the decoded URL here: https://asecuritysite.com/encryption/fer and it wasn't nearly as long, but the first part matches pretty closely

You're probably right, thanks for looking into this @WileESpaghetti. Without the key there's not a lot I can do in the scope of this package but I'll leave this issue open in case something changes in the future.
