There was a problem hiding this comment.
I had one wording suggestion but otherwise this looks great. Very excited about all the cool stuff we can do with the newer JS target

Description
There are some ES6 features, such as
Proxy, that would make sense to use in various parts of the web console. Unfortunately, many of these cannot be polyfilled and therefore cannot be used in older browsers like IE11.Since IE11 will be officially retired in about 1 year and its rendering engine still exists inside of the new Edge for those who need it, there is no compelling reason to continue supporting it in the web console. Dropping IE and other browsers that lack ES6 support will both slim down the JS payload and allow us to use new ES features that have ostensibly been available for a few years in the majority of browsers.
