Modern browsers provide the URL.searchParams property to make it easy to parse out the parameters from the query string.

Before Firefox 53,
pathname and
search returned wrong values for custom protocols. Given
protocol:host/x?a=true&b=false,
pathname would return "/x?a=true&b=false" and
search would return "", rather than "/x" and "?a=true&b=false" respectively. See
bug 1310483.
