WhatsApp web RegExp issue in Google Chrome

I'm facing RegExp issue with WhatsApp web in Chrome. WhatsApp web is working fine in Firefox but in chrome it gives following error

Uncaught TypeError: RegExp.prototype.sticky getter called on non-RegExp object

Is there any fix for that? I'm using Chrome 48.0.2560.0 dev-m (64-bit).

Why WhatsApp is not working in Chrome?

Sometimes extensions installed on the browser can cause WhatsApp web not to work in Chrome. So, check if you have installed any privacy-focused extension that alters browser properties or browser ID. Try disabling or uninstalling them to see if WhatsApp web works again.

I experienced the same issue and found that it was caused by having the Enable Experimental Javascript feature enabled in the chrome://flags/ experimental features page. Disabling it immediately fixed my problem. Hope this helps!
