They are no necessary the same:
```js
var _Object = window.Object,
Object = function() {};
class Foo1 {
constructor() {}
}
class Foo2 extends Object {
constructor() { super(); }
}
_Object.getPrototypeOf(Foo1.prototype); // _Object.prototype
_Object.getPrototypeOf(Foo2.prototype); // Object.prototype
```
You are able to shadow or replace `Object` with a custom constructor. And this
constructor might use `this`, that's why `super()` is required.
