For Safari, you can access it with following

Preferences (press 'Command + , ') ----> Advanced ----> check "Show Develop menu in menu bar" ----> Security ----> check "Enable JavaScript"

On the menu bar of Safari now has a Develop bar Develop ----> Show Web Inspector (press 'Command + Alt + I')

Then select Console.

If you're using a Chromebook running ChromeOS you can find the JavaScript console here:

Chrome menu > More tools > JavaScript console

Or, you can use the keyboard shortcut:

Ctrl + Shift + J
