Fair point.
> I don't see how a url (over tls) exposes more information unless tls is MiTM'd.
What is not sent cannot be hacked. I was not suggesting an explicit security feature, rather a state of things.

Yes, but it makes for a nice combo with the previous point, as the URL now contains 2 things: the Locator itself that your peer and the server will access and (resp.) serve, plus the context that only your peer will have access to.
- dgb23 4y agoThank you for bringing this up. This is a very good point. I have thought of hash URLs being obsolete outside of some neat CSS tricks and section anchoring. But they still serve a purpose outside of that and can even simplify server side handling in some cases.
