<p style="font-family: Outfit, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.5; padding-left: 24px; padding-right: 24px;">It doesn’t matter how many fancy coding agents or next-gen frameworks you throw at it – the <code style="font-size: 14px;">$</code> God remains eternal. And it just celebrated its 20th birthday in style last week by dropping <a href="https://click.kit-mail6.com/xmu0w0kg44b6hpko6n8a5h2q34zllfnhlemx/qvh8h8ude8eerlul/aHR0cHM6Ly9ibG9nLmpxdWVyeS5jb20vMjAyNi8wMS8xNy9qcXVlcnktNC0wLTAv" style="color: #12b5e5; font-weight: 600; text-decoration: underline;" url-id="1825950741">jQuery 4.0</a> out of nowhere.</p>
<p style="font-family: Outfit, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.5; padding-left: 24px; padding-right: 24px;">This is jQuery’s first major release in almost a decade, but thankfully the team didn’t slap on some MCP support and try to pitch us all on the next 20 years of AI-powered jQuery.</p>
<p style="font-family: Outfit, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.5; padding-left: 24px; padding-right: 24px;">Instead, they shipped some helpful quality of life improvements for the <a href="https://click.kit-mail6.com/xmu0w0kg44b6hpko6n8a5h2q34zllfnhlemx/3ohphdu3xqxx36hr/aHR0cHM6Ly93M3RlY2hzLmNvbS90ZWNobm9sb2dpZXMvb3ZlcnZpZXcvamF2YXNjcmlwdF9saWJyYXJ5P3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9Y2hhdGdwdC5jb20=" style="color: #12b5e5; font-weight: 600; text-decoration: underline;" url-id="1825950744">many</a> websites that still rely on it in The Year Of Our Spec 2026. Let’s take a closer look:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p style="font-family: Outfit, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.5;"><strong style="font-weight: 600;">RIP legacy browsers</strong> – jQuery 4 drops support for IE 10 and older, along with Edge Legacy, and some ancient mobile browsers that only the trees remember the names of. This let the team delete a lot of compatibility hacks and deprecated APIs that shrink its overall size by ~3KB.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="font-family: Outfit, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.5;"><strong style="font-weight: 600;">Trusted Types + CSP support</strong> – jQuery now cooperates nicely with strict Content Security Policies instead of fighting against them, thanks to support for Trusted Types and safer script loading.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="font-family: Outfit, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.5;"><strong style="font-weight: 600;">Modern upgrades</strong> – They migrated the jQuery source to ES modules, switched to Rollup for more modern bundling, and made the library compatible with modern build tools and browsers through the use of <code style="font-size: 14px;"><script type="module"></code>.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="font-family: Outfit, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.5; padding-left: 24px; padding-right: 24px;"><strong style="font-weight: 600;">Bottom Line:</strong> It’s nice to see jQuery aging so gracefully, unlike all the millennials who got a broccoli haircut and started wearing JNCO jeans in 2025.</p>
