+# Prefer `String#replaceAll()` over regex searches with the global flag
+
+The [`String#replaceAll()`](https://github.com/tc39/proposal-string-replaceall) method is both faster and safer as you don't have to escape the regex if the string is not a literal.
+
+This rule is fixable.
+
+## Fail
+
+```js
+string.replace(/This has no special regex symbols/g, '');
+string.replace(/\(It also checks for escaped regex symbols\)/g, '');
+```
+
+## Pass
+
+```js
+string.replace(/Non-literal characters .*/g, '');
+string.replace(/Extra flags/gi, '');
+string.replace('Not a regex expression', '')
+string.replaceAll('Literal characters only', '');
+```
