This works in all browsers -

new Date('2001/01/31 12:00:00 AM')

Date does not take a timezone parameter in that way. My thought is that Chrome is just ignoring it. 

new Date(year, month, day [, hour, minute, second, millisecond])

Please see @Brett's comment below for more information.

Make sure the parameter is RFC1123 compliant: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1123
