In Flutter web, this code return an int with 3 trailing zeros.

Date = DateTime.now().microsecondsSinceEpoch 

Is there no precise way to return the current time in microseconds on the web?

Checkout window.performance.now() from web.dart here the comparison between Datetime and Stopwatch

import 'package:web/web.dart';

void main() {
  var sw = new Stopwatch()..start();
  for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    print(
      'hello ${i + 1}: ${sw.elapsed} and ${DateTime.now().microsecondsSinceEpoch} further ${window.performance.now()}',
    );
  }
}
