getTime() not working on Safari the way it works on Chrome
What's the best way to get this to work on both Chrome and Safari? Works fine on Chrome. Returns NaN on Safari.
new Date("2018-11-22 14:24:34 -0800").getTime()

You shouldn't pass the date as a String to the constructor of Date because that causes Date.parse() to be called.
The
Date.parse()method parses a string representation of a date, and returns the number of milliseconds sinceJanuary 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTCorNaNif the string is unrecognized or, in some cases, contains illegal date values (e.g. 2015-02-31).
It is not recommended to use Date.parse as until ES5, parsing of strings was entirely implementation dependent. There are still many differences in how different hosts parse date strings, therefore date strings should be manually parsed (a library can help if many different formats are to be accommodated).
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/parse
To mitigate those differences in implementation, I recommend you use a library like moment.js.
