Resolving jQuery Compatibility Issues with Chrome 50

The stable version of Google Chrome has been upgraded to version 50. To try it out, I upgraded to Chrome 50 immediately, but a problem arose: some functions on certain websites were not working properly. I initially thought it was a Chrome compatibility issue, but after checking with the F12 Developer Tools, I found jQuery errors.

Upon checking the website, I was shocked to find it was using jQuery 1.4, which is extremely outdated. It seems Chrome has directly dropped compatibility support for this version of jQuery.

Solution 1:

Contact the website owner (developer) directly and ask them to update the jQuery version to a higher one. This is the simplest and most effective solution.

Solution 2:

Search for an extension named "Gooreplacer" in the Google Chrome Web Store (requires a proxy to access). After installing it, replace the website's jQuery with a third-party, higher version of the jQuery library. Save the settings and refresh the page with Ctrl + F5 to resolve the issue.

Solution 2 is not very flexible because it only modifies the jQuery version on your local machine. Other visitors using the latest version of Chrome will still encounter this problem. We hope domestic developers will update their outdated jQuery libraries in a timely manner.
