`pathname` === '' ?

Hope to provide a parameter to be compatible Web URL https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL

new URL('http://www.example.com').pathname === '/'
==> true

Yes, this is a deviation from the Node.js and browser URL behavior. Changing this would be a breaking change and I'm not sure if it's worth the effort.

FWIW, this behavior was changed in #197 and has broken a bunch of our code assumptions.

I'm closing this as behavior is now consistent with the browser and Node.js WHATWG URL parser.
