Is insertAdjacentText a standard javascript method?

for performance reasons I'd like to use the insertAdjacentText-method, but I don't know if it is ECMAScript- (JavaScript)-standard.

No. Nothing related to the DOM is defined by ECMAScript.

insertAdjacentText is defined by the WHATWG DOM Living Standard.

It is supported by all current, major browsers.

EDIT

insertAdjacentText is now supported by all browsers after Firefox 47.

Ref: https://caniuse.com/#search=insertAdjacentText

Original

According to dottoro.com it is not supported by Firefox, but only by the other major browsers, shall might be the reason why there is no entry in the MDN-documentation.

I only found an entry on the Microsoft Developer Network documentation for this feature.

So regardless whether it's standard or not, one might use insertAdjacentHTML instead, because it is supported by all major browsers.
