Simplest ‘removeDuplicates’ in JavaScript Arrays

Other question I’ve found a lot in job interview questions, and this is the simplest implementation I’ve found:

[...].filter(function (val, idx, arr) {
 var firstIdx = arr.indexOf(val);
 return (idx === firstIdx) || (firstIdx === arr.lastIndexOf(val));
});
