If you dont have the 16 minutes (or 8 minutes in double speed) to watch this video, start here (at minute 11) and you will see there is enough to learn about URL parsing, how browser work, the browser history, world and iOS restrictions and more. Later you will also learn that understanding, finding and reporting those kind of (rare) bugs can make you a bit of money too.
