  • I did get an alert in Chrome 9, Gentoo. Did Chrome add fanciness to detect stuff like this? Mar 12, 2011 at 18:49
  • @Michael, I don't know but In html source, there is plain <script tag, but somehow, my chrome 11 also can't get executed somehow.

  • @Michael I've turned on XSS protection in about:flags, though it disappeared in Chrome 11.

  • @Blowski, Actually, this supposed to be fixed already. Edit: Checked and confirmed on my firefox with NoScript too. Probably NoScript alerting everything with <script> tag in url

  • @YOU Yes, just checked with NoScript disabled and it's fine. Good to know that's what NoScript does...

    Hm, so alert(false) doesn't count for the Hacker badge?
