If you scroll past the first 99 pages of explaining how urls work, you'll find the author includes this as its first FAQ:

"""

Was this hacking?

I don't think I'd call it that.

"""

It's really irresponsible to give credence to these increasingly ridiculous claims of "hacking", that almost certainly look like things you yourself have typed into url bars at one time or another, if you are at all competent with a computer.

Do we really wants laws regulating which locations it is appropriate to type alert(1)? Like.. lord.

Do folks have any idea what browser extensions look like? Let alone browser extension development. Anyone here ever read the logs of a production system that actually hosts a service people use?

This is reality. This is how the internet works. And pretending otherwise is either dishonesty or ignorance.
