About

**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)
