Fetch is a Web API, not an ECMAScript language feature, so TC39 doesn’t have much to do with it. They do do Promises though and Cancellation is a Stage 1 proposal [0], so it’s more than a year away from standardization at best.

WHATWG handles Fetch and their spec[1] was updated seven days ago.

Fetch requests do support cancelation for a while now through `AbortController`. See: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/abortable-...

Which doesn't work even in Chrome.

I also choose Axios over Fetch for now. I had the following post that made the case - https://medium.com/@thejasonfile/fetch-vs-axios-js-for-makin...

Thoughts?
