About jQuery Version Detector

**Automatic Detection** The extension automatically scans every webpage you visit and detects if jQuery is present. No need to open developer console or manually check - just look at the extension icon. **Color-Coded Version Indicators** Get instant visual feedback about jQuery version: • 🔴 Red - jQuery 1.x (older version, consider upgrading) • 🟠 Orange - jQuery 2.x (intermediate version) • 🟢 Green - jQuery 3.x+ (latest stable version) • 🔵 Blue - jQuery detected but version unknown • ⚫ Gray - No jQuery found on the page **Detailed Information Panel** Click the extension icon to see: • Exact jQuery version number (e.g., 3.6.0) • Source URLs where jQuery is loaded from • Type of loading method (script tag, CDN, bundled) • Multiple jQuery instances if present • Global object availability status **Multiple Detection Methods** The extension uses several techniques to ensure accurate detection: • Global object inspection (window.jQuery, window.$) • Script tag analysis • Performance API resource monitoring • Dynamic script detection • Bundled library recognition **Dark Mode Support** Beautiful interface that adapts to your browser theme - works perfectly in both light and dark modes with optimized contrast and readability. **Multilingual Interface** Available in: • English (primary) • Czech (secondary) ### 👨‍💻 Perfect For **Web Developers** Quickly identify jQuery versions during development, debugging, or code review. **Security Auditors** Identify outdated jQuery versions that may have security vulnerabilities. **Technical SEO Specialists** Analyze website technology stack and performance optimization opportunities. **Website Administrators** Monitor jQuery usage across your websites and plan upgrade strategies. ### 🔒 Privacy & Security • No data collection - extension works completely offline • No external connections - all detection happens locally • No personal information access • Open source friendly - clean, readable code • Minimal permissions - only what's necessary for detection ### 📊 Why This Extension?
