I didn't realize why my browsers (Firefox, iOS Safari) were correctly handling the tests, despite the article indicating they were not compliant. Then I realized the article is from 2015.

The content is still really useful, though. A good understanding of JS tasks & microtasks and HTML jobs is really useful for diagnosing the inevitable front-end weirdness encountered during development when using any of the major frontend frameworks (which contain a lot of abstraction that separates the developer from these lower-level facets).




The Safari one was only fixed about a year ago: https://webkit.org/blog/10031/release-notes-for-safari-techn.... I remember being excited about the release specifically because of Jake Archibald calling it out.


Good to know!
