[Bug] The filters use URLs to display the filtered resources

[Murdock9803]

Description

While choosing any filter for the resources (for ex. Topic = Licenses), the url of the page gets changed from url to url/all/topic=license. So when we press the cross [x] to revert the changes, the page goes to url/all and not on just url.

Reproduction

1. Go to the Resource Archive site
2. Click on any of the filters.
3. Click the [x] alongside your chosen filter.
4. Now the url has changed from (initially) https://resources.creativecommons.org/ to (finally) https://resources.creativecommons.org/all/?

Expectation

The filtering of resources should follow a class-based system and not the changing of URL. the chosen filters should be toggled as class name in the concerned resources and only those resources will be displayed.

Screenshots

The url normally looks like:

After choosing a filter Topic = Licenses:

Now clicking on the [x] alongside the chosen filter:

Hello @surajguduru
The issue is not yet ready to be worked upon. you can see the labels to confirm this.

The urls should still update, but they shouldn't be required for the UI to change necessarily.

The approach here needs to be amended slightly I think.
