Script Preparation code:

var PLAIN_OBJECT_PROTO = Object.getPrototypeOf({})
var obj = {
  'a': 1,
  'b': 1,
  'c': 1,
  'd': 1,
  'e': 1,
  'f': 1,
  'g': 1
};

Tests:

Object.prototype.toString
for (let i=10000; i > 0; i--) { console.log(Object.prototype.toString.call(obj) === '[object Object]' ? 'P' : 'F'); }
Object.getPrototypeOf
for (let i=10000; i > 0; i--) { console.log(obj !== null && typeof obj === 'object' && Object.getPrototypeOf(obj) === PLAIN_OBJECT_PROTO ? 'P' : 'F') }
