jQuery is still on 53.7% of the web, and Webflow puts it on 97.6% of its sites (programming.dev)

I visited the homepages of the 14.8 million sites in Google's Chrome UX Report in October.

I thought jQuery would be dead, but it's still on 53.7% of sites, and it seems to be tied quite tightly to the platform. Webflow puts it on 97.6% of its sites, WordPress on 84.9%. For contrast, React is on 10.6% of sites.

jQuery helped me get into web development, and I guess it still gets the job done even if redundant with browser standards these days...

I dunno but people seem really hell bent on getting rid of it for some reason. I think it's just that web developers are constantly using some new framework and anything that's not that they go "ew" like every single website must have the same overblown needs they do lol.
