--- Comment #7 from Marat Tanalin <mtanalin at yandex.ru> ---
All other major browsers work correctly and do NOT append question mark to URL in case of empty GET-method form, namely:

* Firefox (at least version 4+),
* Opera 12 (Opera before switching to Chromium),
* Internet Explorer (at least version 8+),
* Microsoft Edge (Windows 10's brand new browser).

That's just common sense since the `?` separator is unneeded if there is nothing to separate (query string is empty).

Forms without fields are a valid way for creating buttons that effectively act as links that always point to the same exact URL [1].

WebKit and its fork named Chromium are currently the only engines that need the workaround based on server-side redirection [2].
