Describe the bug

I'm using axios in an app created by create-react-app. As soon I upgraded axios to v0.27.0, the application stop working with the error shown in the reproduction section. Downgrading to v0.26.1 solved the issue.

It looks like the issues rises from the xhr adapter.

To Reproduce

Create an empty project using CRA

npx create-react-app my-app
cd my-app

install axios

npm install axios

use axios to make any request

useEffect(() => {
  axios.get("https://google.com");
}, []);

start the application

npm start

The error is shown in the console

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'url' in '/home/mayo/personal-projects/my-app/node_modules/axios/lib/adapters'
BREAKING CHANGE: webpack < 5 used to include polyfills for node.js core modules by default.
This is no longer the case. Verify if you need this module and configure a polyfill for it.

If you want to include a polyfill, you need to:
        - add a fallback 'resolve.fallback: { "url": require.resolve("url/") }'
        - install 'url'
If you don't want to include a polyfill, you can use an empty module like this:
        resolve.fallback: { "url": false }

webpack compiled with 1 error
