Chrome Version: 59
OS: all

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Run this on browser console

console.log(await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(() => resolve('Hi'), 1000)));

What is the expected result?
Same result as if wrapped with (async function () { ... }());

What happens instead?
Throws an error.

As can be seen on https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/13209 top-level await is considered a helpful feature for working with promises on the development, as node.js investigates possible ways for providing this, I think it would be good idea if Chrome could also go for providing this for the browser developers and perhaps you can help node.js for taking a better approach for implementing this feature there also.
