+use-isInstance
+==============
+
+Prefer ``.isInstance()`` in chrome scripts over the standard ``instanceof``
+operator for DOM interfaces, since the latter will return false when the object
+is created from a different context.
+
+Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
+-----------------------------------------
+
+.. code-block:: js
+
+    node instanceof Node
+    text instanceof win.Text
+    target instanceof this.contentWindow.HTMLAudioElement
+
+Examples of correct code for this rule:
+---------------------------------------
+
+.. code-block:: js
+
+    Node.isInstance(node)
+    win.Text.isInstance(text)
+    this.contentWindow.HTMLAudioElement.isInstance(target)
