This javascript function should take the local user time instead of the "accepted" timezone clock. What went wrong? The function returns instead the forward clock result (+1 hour) This used to work fine up until June 13th, 2018. Did this work before? Yes before Version 67.0.3396.87 Chrome version: 67.0.3396.87 Channel: stable OS Version: 10.0 Flash Version: This works perfectly well on my wife's Firefox

> reset your clock to standard time (back 1 hour) What do you mean by the above? What exactly did you do in the Windows control panel? Did you manually turn off DST? Why did you do that? What time zone did you live in?

I use EST, NY timezone (Eastern Standard Time; ie: I don't forward my clocks)
Windows 10
Settings > Date & Time
Adjust for daylight saving time automatically
(off)
Yes I did turn off DST manually
Why?
Because it's false.

> I use EST, NY timezone (Eastern Standard Time; ie: I don't forward my clocks) That's unsupported. You're not using US/Canada Eastern time (America/New_York). You have to pick Etc/GMT+5 (5 hours behind GMT. the sign convention is the opposite in the time zone identifier) instead or its equivalent. You can do that on Windows by selecting one of zones listed at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC%E2%88%9205:00#North_America_3 On Windows, one of those zones you can select is Bogota,Lima. What you really need to select is UTC -0500 zone (Etc/GMT+5; the sign convention is the opposite in the time zone identifier), but at least on Windows, you cannot select UTC -0500 (5 hours behind UTC year-round). So, you have to go with 'Bogota,Lima'. In the meantime, I filed http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/13845 .

Thank you for the effort. This last year has been atrocious vis-a-vis Chromium. I think I'll switch to Edge.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25273281/is-dst-enabled shows how to detect whether a user turned off 'Automatically adjusts for DST'. I'll add more comment to the ICU bug referred to in comment 6.
