Browser compatibilities with JS Chai Should style framework. Why?

On the Chai site, it says this "The should style allows for the same chainable assertions as the expect interface, however it extends each object with a should property to start your chain. This style has some issues when used with Internet Explorer, so be aware of browser compatibility."

When I'm testing my application I do it through the terminal, so what does my browser have to do with the testing of my application?

It can be used in the browser: Installation - Chai.

If you're using it in the terminal, then nothing to worry about! :)

your browser doesn't do anything. It's just black and white application. Pretend its terminal application.
