Comment 5 Andrew Pickering 2019-07-31 04:45:26 UTC 
Support for URLSearchParams's "USVString or sequence for init object" was added in Firefox 53 / Chrome 61 (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URLSearchParams/URLSearchParams#Browser_compatibility).

We can easily avoid using that feature in this case.

Tested with Firefox 52.0 (64-bit)
Run Query ":kube_pod_info_node_count:", no such error now, could show the graph correctly
