Description

On the latest chrome calling

$($);

Freezes the browser.

I know that this is not common usage of the library, but the outcome it's a frozen browser and the only solution is to force close the tab.

See it for yourself:

Also the pull request to solve this simple issue is here:

Thanks for the wonderful library!

Pablo

Thanks for your time and interest in helping the jQuery project, but the consensus at the bug triage sprint today was that we shouldn't handle this edge case - there's no fathomable reason to do this in the first place.
