Infinite Recursion browser tab crashes

[habeelmazhar]

Any URL that ends with some characters like @ or $ crashes.
Codepen link with an example

Obviously codepen URL does not crash but you can see that the script execution gets stuck.

Is this related to: #82?

@zahassanyum Yeah almost the same, but it's different in a way that encodeURI does not fix this issue

It's a Catastrophic Backtracking issue. It's not technically "infinite", it's just that execution time grows exponentially with the length of the path, such that https://example.com/abc@ validates in reasonable time but https://example.com/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456789@ crashes.
