What are the js recursion limits for Firefox, Chrome, Safari, IE, etc?

Nicholas C. Zakas writes in his blog:

  • Internet Explorer 7: 1,789
  • Firefox 3: 3,000
  • Chrome 1: 21,837
  • Opera 9.62: 10,000
  • Safari 3.2: 500

There’s some more data on different browsers and OSs here.

I’ve created a Browserscope test to get more data. Please run it here.

Update:

The results above are now obsolete, but the browserscope results are updated :

  • IE 11: 12,064
  • Firefox 65: 20,614
  • Chrome 72: 9,643
  • Opera 57: 9,638
  • Safari 12: 32,035
