new Date() is returning the time without timezone, but just the offset in Windows 7 OS for chrome version 71.0.3578.80.

Open console by pressing f12 and issue the new Date() in the JS console.

Windows 10: new Date() displays Mon Dec 10 2018 16:11:23 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)

Windows 7: new Date() displays Mon Dec 10 2018 12:27:23 GMT-0500 (GMT-05:00)

In Windows 10 it works fine. In windows 7 it is not showing Eastern Standard Time anymore. It used to be fine in both Windows 7 and 10 before chrome released their update.

Reading the release notes of the latest version has a point related to a modification for the relative times.

Displaying relative times is now part of the Intl API

I suspect the above change is breaking the time zone information in Windows 7.

No, you can't ping users like that. – Vanity Slug - codidact.com Dec 11 '18 at 14:46
@Alex Got it.. So Is there any other way the developers can be made aware of this issue? – crystal_test Dec 11 '18 at 15:10
