Window: dump() method

Non-standard: This feature is not standardized. We do not recommend using non-standard features in production, as they have limited browser support, and may change or be removed. However, they can be a suitable alternative in specific cases where no standard option exists.

The Window.dump() method logs messages to the browser's standard output (stdout). If the browser was started from a terminal, output sent to dump() will appear in the terminal.

Output from dump() is not sent to the browser's developer tools console. To log to the developer tools console, use console.log().
