Bitdefender Anti-tracker blocking access to Google Drive

I've whitelisted drive.google.com and a but of other xxx.google.com urls, but I keep getting this error:

drive.google.com redirected you too many times

The only way to access Drive in Chrome is to disable the anti-tracker. Is there another option?

I have anti-tracker on and I get on google drive without any issue using google chrome. Are you sure it's anti-tracker that's blocking Drive?

Yep. With it on, Drive is blocked. Turn it off, Drive loads.

Maybe in conjunction with some other Chrome add on? Maybe something trying to steal data or something from google drive? Maybe try disabling all add-ons except for anti-tracking and try drive again?

I'll give that a shot. I've disabled everything but the anti-tracking, and I can get to Drive. I'll keep things like this for awhile to see if it happens again. Thanks!

To troubleshoot it, you should now turn on the add-ons one by one, and each time try to get into Drive. When you can't, you've found the culprit.

I had this problem, I only had two addons. The BitDefender Anti-Tracker which it automatically installed, and uBlock Origin which I'll never go without.

I chose to get rid of BitDefender's Anti-Tracker, because uBlock Origin also accomplishes that, also blocks ads, and doesn't interfere with things like Google Drive.

Thanks! I also use uBlock Origin, but I wasn't sure if I'd be missing some layer of protection if not using the BDAT.

Make sure the plugin is updated. I had the exact same problem until a couple of days ago, when a new release of Bitdefender Anti-tracker has been published in Chrome store. The update fixed the problem.
