But what if you're targeting the browser? Is the strict mode supported?

We just transitioned our code base to "use strict". If you use it in combination with a module system it works painlessly, and indeed prevents some classes of bugs.

Surely you can (and should) 'use strict' in browser.

Oh, yes... I did. The post you linked says it is not reliable and it shouldn't be trusted as not all browsers support it. I was asking in case you had anything to add.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I apologize for that comment, it was unnecessarily brusque and actually uninformed. I think it's fine to depend on "use strict"; in Chrome.

Thanks for the info. Seems like it is more reliable than the post in MDN suggests: http://caniuse.com/#feat=use-strict
