I used jQuery in early days to make smooth animations, DOM manipulation, AJAX requests...

But we have smart replacements now.

Using fetch instead of $.ajax
Using CSS 3 functions directly.
React uses virtual DOM, which wants to reduce the direct DOM manipulation.

So I don't see a good pros with using jQuery

Anyways it is just my opinion.

Yes, the Chrome Browser itself is a power-house; which keeps getting better and better. Besides who can't write a Query Selector? I haven't used JQuery in more than 5 years, thus my surprise in the results.
