While your map example works (apart from the variable name new), I would say that's really a reduce solution.

arr.reduce((acc, item) => 
                       { 
                         if(!acc.includes(item)) 
                         { 
                           acc.push(item); 
                         } 
                         return acc;
                       }, []);

I wouldn't use map for this, as it's not a straight, per item transform.

Took me a minute to figure out your fitler example :D
