How can the use of textContent instead of text impact the functionality of a JavaScript script in different browsers, including Opera?

Using textContent instead of text can impact the functionality of a JavaScript script in different browsers, including Opera, because text is not a standard property in all browsers and may not work consistently across all platforms. To ensure cross-browser compatibility, it is recommended to use textContent instead.

// Using textContent instead of text for cross-browser compatibility
var element = document.getElementById('exampleElement');
element.textContent = "Hello, World!";
