URL starting with google.com/url (from Gmail) distorted #100

What I did:

Enter 100/(1+1/10^x) into Google
Copy the resulting URL: https://www.google.com/search?q=100%2F%281%2B1%2F10%5Ex%29
Send it via Gmail and copy the link from the email: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.google.com/search?q%3D100%252F%25281%252B1%252F10%255Ex%2529&source=gmail&...
Click the link

What I expect (and what happens without ClearURLs):

I end up on a result page for 100/(1+1/10^x), https://www.google.com/search?q=100%2F%281%2B1%2F10%5Ex%29

What happens (with ClearURLs):

I end up on a result page for 100/(1 1/10^x), https://www.google.com/search?q=100/(1+1/10^x)

It seems ClearURLs is URL-decoding the + too aggressively.

Please check this issue: https://github.com/ClearURLs/Addon/issues/193

Please check this issue: #193

@maxxyme why? Do you think disabling "Prevent tracking injection over history API" will help? It does not, unfortunately.

Last time I checked it did... maybe it doesn't anymore...?

It does solve #193, but not this #100.
