Answer 1

Chrome 35+ supports Object.observe() Method.

More details here: html5rocks

Update: It's moved to chrome 36 beta.

You can use kangax's Browser Compatibility Table for Object.observe

It is part of ECMA Script 7 Specifications, it seems. Luckily, at the time of this writing, my current browser, Chrome 33, is the only one which supports it :)

If you like to enable it in Chrome 33,

1. Visit chrome://flags/

2. And enable Enable Experimental JavaScript

Answer 3

Polymer is a new and promising framework that intends to implement Web Components, for which Object.observe() is an integral part.

It provides polyfill implementation for "evergreen" browsers; the latest ones available. Moreover, they track what browser have native support for this feature, so it speeds up their implementation.

This polyfill is available as a separate library on GitHub.

Answer 4

It used to be present in both Chrome & Opera, but the feature has been removed from both browsers after the standards committee withdrew the proposal for this feature!

Answer 5

Disclaimer: I'm the author of object-observer library.

basarat's answer is definitelly the right one - nowadays no browser supports it.

Most of the polyfills performing 'dirty-checks' - not the best way to achieve observance IMHO.

Better way is to pick up one of the several libraries providing the same functionality utilizing native Proxy capabilities, object-observer being just one of them.
