I’ve come across various resources, but I’m still unsure how to quickly determine if my Chrome browser version 68 is compatible with ES9, the ECMAScript 2018 standard. Can anyone suggest a simple method or tool for testing this?
To quickly verify if your Chrome version 68 supports ES9 features, you can use the platform Can I use. It provides a comprehensive breakdown of browser support for JavaScript features. Just type “ES9” or a specific feature introduced in ES9, like “Asynchronous Iteration,” to see compatibility details. Additionally, the “Chrome DevTools” console is handy: paste a snippet of ES9 code (for example, async generators) and see if it runs without errors or warnings. It’s a straightforward approach I often use.
You can also check the Chrome version release history on Wikipedia to see its compatibility with ECMAScript versions. Chrome 68 was released in July 2018 and might not fully support all ES9 features. A simple manual test in the console can be using await in loops or try Rest/Spread properties in objects.
