 While writing a test for #30304 I found (yet) another way to get browser
 locale:

 {{{
 const doc = (new DOMParser).parseFromString('getyourlocale',
 'application/xhtml+xml');
 alert(doc.getElementsByTagName('parsererror')[0].firstChild.textContent);
 }}}

 test: https://acatarineu.github.io/fp/locale_domparser_error.html
