Support for legacy browsers

suggest change

In older browsers where Date.now() is unavailable, use (new Date()).getTime() instead: 

t = (new Date()).getTime();

Or, to provide a Date.now() function for use in older browsers, use this polyfill: 

if (!Date.now) {
  Date.now = function now() {
    return new Date().getTime();
  };
}
