So for other coming here the answer is YES and you can just add this line:
const newStack = stack.split("\n").slice(NUMBER).join("\n");
after:
const {stack} = obj;
Where NUMBER is the amount of jumps you want to do to the past (Number = 1 => first parent)
And changing the next stack instances by newStack

Does something work in Safari?

If it is not working in Safari check also in chrome from an Iphone. There are some chances is not even working there. Those s*****s are not happy enough complexing their stuff, they have to limit other's software

Chrome on iOS is still webkit (aka safari). It's just a different UI.

stacktracey seems to work cross browser pretty well

Great job. This is exactly what I was looking for without instantiating a new Error (although it still parses a call stack). Confirmed working in Node v16.13.0. It also may not be clear until you're using it that just calling the function without passing a function will get the current function's name.
