Node.js enables Temporal by default, the date-time API that replaces Date. Temporal is now available in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Node.js

Node.js 26 is now officially released, and Temporal is enabled by default.

Temporal, the modern alternative to Date, is now available in Node.js out of the box.

With Chrome, Edge, and Firefox already supporting it, Temporal is becoming practical across both web and server-side JavaScript.

This makes it easier to build more accurate date and time handling, including time zones and high-precision timestamps.
