How to check JavaScript version on Google Chrome?

Akash Mittal

One day I was wondering what version of JavaScript is running in my Chrome browser? I tried searching in settings but couldn’t find any reference. Today I will show you how to check JavaScript version in your Google Chrome browser.

Steps to get JS version in Chrome

  1. Open Google Chrome browser.
  2. Type chrome://version in address bar and enter.
  3. You will get a list of different versions and configuration information like –
    1. Google Chrome Version
    2. Revision
    3. OS
    4. JavaScript Version
    5. User Agent
    6. Command Line
    7. Chrome file path

This is how the page will look like –

chrome://version

From the above screenshot you can see that my chrome version is 104.0.5112.102 and JavaScript version is V8 10.4.132.22.

Getting JavaScript Version in NodeJS

If you have nodejs installed and wondering how to find installed javascript version then you can use the below command in your terminal –

node -p process.versions.v8

It will display the JS version shipped with your node. Like for me the version is 9.4.146.24-node.20.
