Yeah, sadly, top-level dataURIs are increasingly neglected and banished from browsers, mainly because they were misused for scams in the past; for example no modern browser allows navigating to top-level dataURI by clicking a link. Only bookmarks, manual entry, and external invocation (share) work (sometimes).

Anyway, I have put some remarks and docs for that thing into https://gist.github.com/myfonj/c8ce74bf549e19600026ce9022388... , if you are interested.

By the way, this "Backrooms" can also work from non-base64 URI and as such is significantly smaller (https://github.com/Kuberwastaken/backdooms/pull/3#issuecomme...)

    Awesome stuff! I'll play around with it in a bit!

    Thanks for sharing :)

      My pleasure :] N.b., if you'd like to try fiddling with Backdooms in that Sandbox, either use the "original" HTML payload (with or without `data:text/html,` prefix in the content), or use "verbatim" (`data:text/html;verbatim,` prefix) when trying that last dataURI payload from the comment, otherwise all `%23` would be double encoded, so you'd get wrong colours. ";verbatim" turns off implicit URI Encoding. (It is not part of the tech, just my hacky hatch to be able to test both "true" dataURIs that can be used "verbatim" in URLs, or have convenience of auto-encoding, but have to extract sandbox iframe resulting payload afterwards, for "ejecting" the "project".
