No browser understands SSI - the hint is in the name, Server-Side Includes.  
The server (i.e. Apache) processes the SSI directives, then sends the result 
to the browser.  The browser has no idea what steps were involved in getting 
the resulting HTML for it to render.  Think of it in much the same way as PHP 
or any other server-side language - the browser just receives the resulting 
HTML.  (View source on your page and you'll see that.)
