DateTime in Safari and Chrome Render different with .ToJSON

Question

Within our application we are trying to pass through a users selected datetime of which is causing issues within different browsers. As an example, running the below in both Chrome, and Safari both output a different time. Chrome honours the BST and yet safari does not

new Date('2020-08-11T11:47:00').toJSON()

Have tried to google, but unable to find any specific examples for this.

Are there any solutions in place to get around this issue?

EDIT

Chrome output :- "2020-08-11T10:47:00.000Z"

Safari output :- "2020-08-11T11:47:00.000Z"

@evolutionxbox i have just added the samples to the question. Thank you — Simon, Jul 29 '20 at 12:27
All browsers on my computer give `"2020-08-11T11:47:00.000Z"`. Safari, Chrome, Firefox, all on macOS — evolutionxbox, Jul 29 '20 at 12:27
Is the output from Safari consistent with the result of `.toISOString()` on Safari? — Pointy, Jul 29 '20 at 12:28
@Pointy tried in both browsers with .toISOString(). with the same issue. — Simon, Jul 29 '20 at 12:30
Maybe the browsers are set-up at different time zones. Just a guess — Prasanna, Jul 29 '20 at 12:31
What if your source date string has the explicit "Z" at the end instead of relying on the default? — Pointy, Jul 29 '20 at 12:31
@Prasanna, thank you. ive check, Its a brand new mac book, everything is the same. A colleague has also tested, and getting the same issue — Simon, Jul 29 '20 at 12:32
@Pointy THANK YOU!! i think the 'Z' on the input date has resolved it.. it has altered the chrome date. Thank you everyone — Simon, Jul 29 '20 at 12:35

Safari's parser is buggy. '2020-08-11T11:47:00' should be parsed as local, but Safari (up to v 13.1.2 at least) treats it as UTC. Don't use the built–in parser, see Why does Date.parse give incorrect results?
